Selected Answer: B
It's a badly worded question since it's unclear whether the sniffer is inside (B - encryption) or outside the perimeter (C - IDS). Encryption would make the packets unreadable, but not stop the use of a sniffer. IDS would be more effective in detecting the use of a sniffer, which could then be blocked. Segmentation is a good practice, but does not stop a sniffer. If it asked about what protects against the successful exploitation of a sniffer, then you could answer.

Indeed, TLS protects against network sniffers.

It should be using encryption. Network segmentation can help to separate the network but not for sniffers.
