Explanation

Badge readers (A) and biometric locks (C) are the best server room security controls because they enforce authenticated, identity-based physical access control - only authorized individuals can enter, and access events are logged for audit purposes. Biometric locks are especially strong because they rely on something you are (fingerprint, retina scan), which cannot be lost, stolen, or shared as easily as a badge. Bollards (B) are vehicle barriers used to protect building perimeters, not server room doors. Cable locks (D) secure individual equipment from being removed but do not control room entry. USB tokens (E) are logical access controls for systems, not physical room entry. Privacy window shades (F) obscure the view into a room but do not prevent unauthorized physical entry.
