The correct answer is A) 1 and 3 only. Statement 1 is correct as fences serve as the primary physical barrier and the first line of protection in layered security. Statement 3 is correct as anti-climb paints are used as an additional security measure on fences. Statement 2 is incorrect; fence posts are typically placed much closer than 30 feet (usually 8-10 feet apart) for structural integrity and security effectiveness.

Security fences are outer perimeter barriers, and their effectiveness relies on proper construction (including post spacing) and supplementary measures like anti-climb paint.

Standard security fencing involves posts placed relatively close together to maintain tension, stability, and prevent easy distortion or penetration. 30 feet spacing would make the fence highly vulnerable. Anti-climb paints add a deterrent and detection layer to physical barriers.
