Why each option

To protect server operating systems from a short-term contractor, limiting their logon hours ensures they can only access systems during approved work periods.

ABiometric devices

Biometric devices control physical access to a location or a device, not the specific logon hours or permissions within an operating system.

BLimited logon hoursCorrect

Limiting logon hours for a short-term contractor ensures that their access to the server operating system is restricted to designated work times, automatically preventing unauthorized access outside those specific hours and minimizing risk.

CMantraps

Mantraps are physical security vestibules that control entry to a secure area, not a method for protecting an operating system from a logged-in user.

DRack doors

Rack doors provide physical security for server hardware within a rack, but they do not control a contractor's access to the operating system once physical or network access is established.

Concept tested: User access control - logon hours
