Explanation

This option combines two distinct authentication factors: a biometric retina scan (something you are) and an RFID credential (something you have). This multi-factor approach is extremely difficult to bypass - retinas cannot be stolen or replicated easily, and even if the RFID token is cloned, the biometric check still blocks access. Smart cards with PIN (B) are strong but PINs can be observed or guessed. Barcoded badges (C) can be copied. Keys and deadbolts (D) can be duplicated. Key fobs (E) can be stolen or cloned.
