A Correct answer
Explanation

Authorization is a server-side mechanism that determines whether an authenticated user has permission to access specific resources or perform certain operations. While authentication verifies identity (can be client-side), confidentiality and data integrity are broader security properties applicable to data in transit and storage, not specifically resource access control.
