• DImplement cameras at all entrances.

• B
  15% (3)
• C
  30% (6)
• D

Explanation

A sign-in sheet is the simplest solution because it requires no technology, no infrastructure investment, and works for both employees and non-employees alike - anyone entering signs their name and time, giving you an immediate record of who is in the building. Smart cards (B) only work for pre-registered employees with issued cards, making them useless for visitors and non-employees. Biometrics (C) have the same limitation and add significant cost and setup complexity, violating the "simplest" constraint. Cameras (D) record footage but don't tell you in real time who is present - you'd need to review and identify footage after the fact, which is neither simple nor immediate.

Memory tip: When an exam question says "simplest," eliminate any answer involving technology or infrastructure. A paper log beats a smart card system the moment a visitor walks in without a badge.
