Explanation

Requiring employee ID badges for restricted areas enforces physical access control by ensuring only authorized personnel can enter sensitive zones such as server rooms or executive areas. This supports accountability and audit trails. Leaving doors and windows unlocked (A) eliminates physical security entirely. While surveillance cameras (B) are a valid security measure, installing them specifically in 'public areas' provides limited protection for restricted organizational resources compared to badge-based access enforcement.
