I thought it was /var/log/pam/tally/log?

Definitely check /var/log/secure for login attempts.

I have a vague memory of logs related to HTTP access, but I don't think that's what we need here. So, I guess it's not D) /var/log/http.d.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like the right answer might be B) /ver/log/secure, but I could be mixing it up with another log file.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about checking user authentication logs. Could it be A) /var/log/pam/tally/log?

I think the log file we need is related to security, so maybe it's B) /ver/log/secure? That sounds familiar.
