Selected Answer: D
An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is designed to monitor network traffic and alert administrators when it detects suspicious activities or potential threats. While an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) also monitors traffic, it takes the additional step of blocking the threats, whereas an IDS is primarily focused on detection and notification.

Is this real question in exam. Looks like a joke. IPS and Firewalls also can "Monitor" and prevent the network traffic

Keyword is 'notify'. IDS is the only one that will notify in real time. IPS will go ahead and prevent the payload and/or reconfigure device. You will need to monitor the SIEM to see logs of the others.
