Explanation

Time of day (or time-based) restrictions are access control rules that permit or deny authentication based on the current day and time. An administrator can configure the policy to block logins outside business hours or on weekends, regardless of whether the credentials are correct. Multifactor authentication (B) adds a second factor but does not restrict when logins occur. Implicit deny (C) is a firewall/ACL concept that blocks anything not explicitly permitted - it is not a scheduling mechanism. A common access card (D) is a physical smart-card credential used to authenticate, but it does not enforce time windows on its own.
