Magnetic contacts? What is this, the 1980s? I'd go with the high-tech option and log everything digitally.

A) Security tape that will leave an observable trace each time a door is opened. Seems a bit outdated, but could work as a backup.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Based on the details provided, I think option C is the best answer - the magnetic contacts with a direct connection to the security control room seem like the most comprehensive security measure.

I think I'd start by looking at the key details in the question - it's asking about protecting doors to buildings with air conditioning equipment, so the answer is likely related to physical security measures.
