Explanation

Key fobs (proximity cards/RFID cards) provide an electronically logged, low-cost entry control solution. Each fob access event is automatically recorded by the access control system, creating a reviewable audit trail. This directly satisfies both requirements: secure entry and a reviewable log. Biometric locks (B) are significantly more expensive to deploy and maintain. Entry control rosters (C) are manual sign-in sheets - they are low cost but unreliable and easily falsified, and they don't enforce access control electronically. Cipher locks (D) use a keypad code and generally do not log individual entries unless paired with additional software. Key fobs strike the best balance between cost and functionality for this use case.
