I feel like SIDS might be a trick option. I mostly focused on HIDS and NIDS during my studies.

I remember learning about NIDS and HIDS in class, but the other two are new to me. I'll have to make an educated guess on those.

Okay, let's see. I know there are network-based and host-based IDS, so I'll definitely select those. The other two options sound plausible, but I'm not 100% sure.
