Be sure windows are secure, especially balcony sliders, close the curtains and leave all lights off

All of the above

The correct answer is "All of the above" because each of the listed security steps contributes to ensuring the safety of your belongings and the room. Leaving the TV on at a reasonable volume gives the impression that the room is occupied, deterring potential thieves. Posting the "do not disturb" sign on the door also indicates that the room is occupied and discourages unauthorized entry. Bringing expensive items to a secure safe or hiding them in the room, such as under the pillows, reduces the risk of theft. Ensuring that windows are secure, closing the curtains, and leaving all lights off further enhance the security measures.
