Excessive amount of material is a form of what?

• A. Prohibited material
• B. Contraband
• C. Evidence
• D. Property

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is what counts as contraband—items not authorized to be possessed in a given setting. When someone has an excessive amount of material, that excess often violates policy limits and is treated as contraband because it signals possession of more than allowed, raises safety or security concerns, or indicates intent to misuse. Prohibited material is related but focuses on items that are banned, whereas contraband covers both banned items and any quantity that isn’t authorized. Evidence refers to something used in legal proceedings, not a general status of possession, and property is simply something owned, which doesn’t by itself imply policy violation.
