To keep a close watch over someone or something is known as?

Observation
Control
Surveillance
Guardianship

The correct answer is: Surveillance

Surveillance is the term used to describe the act of closely monitoring or keeping a close watch over someone or something. This is different from control, which refers to having power or authority over someone or something. Observation may involve simply watching or looking at something without actively monitoring it. Guardianship usually refers to the legal responsibility for the care and protection of someone else, so it is not the best fit for this question.
