Explanation

The requirement is to provide access based on facial recognition to replace a key-based system. Placing a human guard at the entrance allows access decisions to be made based on visual facial identification - a guard directly performs facial recognition and can verify identity before granting entry. A mantrap (A) prevents tailgating but does not use facial recognition. A fingerprint scanner (C) is biometric but uses fingerprints, not facial recognition. Proximity readers (D) use badges, which have the same duplication problem as keys. While a guard is a manual implementation of facial recognition rather than an automated one, it is the only option listed that matches the stated goal of facial-based access control.
