Why each option

The question asks for a physical item that restricts employee access to a datacenter, implying a credential used for authorization.

AAccess badgeCorrect

An access badge is a physical credential used in conjunction with a badge reader at controlled entry points to grant or deny entry to restricted areas like a datacenter, thereby physically restricting unauthorized personnel. It acts as a primary component in a physical access control system.

BPassword

A password is a logical authentication method used for digital systems and does not physically restrict access to a datacenter.
