Why each option

To ensure server access is granted only to authorized users and provide accountability, permissions control what users can do once authenticated, and multifactor authentication verifies user identity securely.

APermissionsCorrect

Permissions establish specific rights and restrictions for authenticated users or groups on server resources, directly controlling what actions they are authorized to perform. This is fundamental for defining and enforcing authorization.

BLogs

Logs are used for auditing and troubleshooting, but they record what happened after access attempts or actions, rather than granting or ensuring initial authorization.

CVideo

Video surveillance can provide physical security but does not directly control logical access or authorization to a server.

DInternet browsing history

Internet browsing history is irrelevant to server access control and authorization.

EDigital signature

A digital signature is used for verifying the authenticity and integrity of data, not for granting or controlling user access to a server itself.

FMultifactor authenticationCorrect

Multifactor authentication (MFA) significantly enhances the security of the authentication process, ensuring that only legitimately authorized individuals can successfully prove their identity and gain initial access to the server. By requiring multiple verification factors, MFA reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if one factor is compromised, thereby helping to ensure access is granted only to authorized users.
