Suggested Answer: D

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) logs provide visibility into network traffic patterns and can help detect insecure or unusual connections. These logs will show if non-secure protocols are used, potentially revealing exposed credentials. According to CompTIA CySA+, IDS logs are essential for identifying malicious activity related to communications and network intrusions. Options like DNS (A) and tcpdump (B) provide network details, but IDS specifically monitors for intrusions and unusual activities relevant to security incidents.
