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 Seems a bit outdated, but could work as a backup.

D) Physical locks with a limited set of keys under constant supervision by a guard in the security control-room. Seems like the most reliable way to ensure the doors are properly secured.

C) Magnetic contacts that are permanently alarmed and that are connected to the security control-room panels. This is the most secure option to protect the air conditioning equipment.

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.
