Explanation

Door locks (E) are the most fundamental physical security control for a server room - they directly prevent unauthorized physical access, which is the primary threat vector for server room security. A privacy window (F) prevents people outside the server room from visually observing the equipment, screens, and activities inside, mitigating visual reconnaissance and shoulder surfing. USB locks (A) secure individual ports on servers but do not secure the room itself. PIV cards (B) are a strong authentication mechanism but are an access method, not a security control for the room's physical boundary in this context. A privacy screen (C) protects an individual monitor but not the room. An entry control roster (D) logs access but does not physically prevent unauthorized entry on its own.
