Explanation

Since key cards are tied to roles rather than individuals, there is no way to know which specific person used a card. Video Surveillance (B) provides a compensating control: cameras at entry points record who physically enters, allowing investigators to review footage and identify the individual even when the access control system cannot. Bollards and fencing are physical barriers against vehicles/intrusion, not identification tools. Proximity readers are the existing card-reader technology - they read the cards but still cannot identify the individual holding a shared role-based card.
