Selected Answer: AB

The best options to meet the stated requirements are: A. Video surveillance – Provides remote, real-time visibility into the rooms and helps with auditing and investigations. B. NFC access cards – Allows for auditable logs of who enters (and attempts to enter) the rooms and can trigger alerts for unauthorized access attempts. Other options either do not provide comprehensive logging (e.g., traditional locks and keys) or do not facilitate remote monitoring and detailed audits (e.g., security patrols, automated lighting).
