Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe B) Protocol-based intrusion detection system (PIDS) since it looks for deviations from normal protocol behavior.

D) Host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) seems more likely to me. HIDS monitors the behavior of individual hosts and can identify unusual activity.

I think HIDS is the best option for detecting abnormal behavior.

I think the answer is C) Network intrusion detection system (NIDS). NIDS monitors network traffic and can detect anomalies that may indicate an attack.
