Answer should be Bluetooth. Since we're dealing with possibly a small area (question states 'sensitive area of the company's data center'), Bluetooth will be a better answer than geofencing. From chatGPT: Security systems can use Bluetooth to detect the proximity of authorized devices and trigger alerts or notifications when unauthorized devices come into range. This is especially useful for monitoring secure areas and detecting potential security breaches.

Further, there is only assumptions when it comes to the size of the sensitive area. Could be a locker, could be a football field. Bluetooth's area limitation concerns me here.

Selected Answer: C

C. Geofencing Geofencing is a technology that allows you to set up virtual boundaries or geographic zones and trigger actions when a mobile device enters or exits those predefined areas. In this case, you can set up a geofence around the sensitive area of the data center, and when a mobile device enters that area, it can trigger an alert to be sent to the security team and optionally notify the individual entering the area that their access has been logged and monitored. Geofencing is commonly used for location-based security and notifications.
