C

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the best way to accomplish this would be to digitally sign each timestamp and log entry and store the signature. This is because each timestamp and log entry would be ran through a verification algorithm which would then be stamped with your digital signature that requires your private keys, thus preventing forgery.
