D. Off-site storage.
E. Use Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System (TACACS+) for router commands authorization.

Reveal Answer

Answer: A and C.

In general, you should log all privileged EXEC-level device management access using Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) or an alternative that uses different logging destinations. This is used so that log tampering becomes more difficult and logs can be compared for accuracy. Having an accurate clock is also important, so the logs can be correlated to events or attacks.
