Hey, I bet the answer is D) Web! You know, because the IDS alert was about 'suspicious traffic', and we all know the web is just one big suspicious place, am I right?

Aha, gotta be C) Network traffic! That's the obvious choice here. Maybe the exam writers are trying to trick us, but I'm sticking with my gut on this one.
