The correct option is D: Administrative controls

Explanation:

Administrative controls are also known as work practice controls and involves changes in the procedure of work such as rules, schedules, policies, training etc, with the intention of cutting down to the barest minimum incidence, duration, and the graveness of exposure to situations or chemical that constitute a hazard.
