• C

• D

Explanation

Biometrics (D) is correct because thumb impressions (fingerprints) are a form of biometric authentication - a method that verifies identity using unique physical characteristics of the human body, making it ideal for highly secured environments like server rooms.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• Certificate (A) uses digital cryptographic tokens issued by a Certificate Authority - no physical human trait involved.
• Smart card (B) is a physical card with an embedded chip; it verifies possession of an object, not a body characteristic.
• Two-factor (C) is a broader category of authentication combining two methods (e.g., password + smart card), not a specific method itself - and it doesn't inherently involve biometrics.

Memory tip: Think "Bio = Body" - whenever a question mentions fingerprints, retina scans, voice recognition, or any body part used for login, the answer is Biometrics. The word thumb impression is a direct synonym for fingerprint scanning.
