What are some examples of a type of security work?

1. Bouncers

2. Bodyguards

3. Any service to prevent the loss of property through theft or sabotage in an industrial,residential or retail environment

4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The correct answer is "All of the above" because all listed options—bouncers, bodyguards, and services to prevent the loss of property through theft or sabotage in an industrial, residential or retail environment—are indeed examples of types of security work. A bouncer, typically seen at bars, clubs, concerts, and other public gathering places, is responsible for maintaining safety and ensuring the enforcement of an establishment's best practice policies. They may eject unwanted or disruptive people and also deter potential troublemakers from entering in the first place. A bodyguard provides close protection to individuals, typically high-value targets like celebrities, politicians, or wealthy people who may be at risk of personal attack. Services to prevent the loss of property through theft or sabotage in an industrial, residential or retail environment could include a variety of roles. For example, security guards patrolling a shopping mall, professionals installing and monitoring security cameras in an office building, or a residential neighborhood security patrol. So each of these can be classified as security work as they entail protecting people or property from harm, enforcing rules, and responding to emergency situations. Hence, option "all of the above" is correct.
