Why each option

IPSec provides four core security guarantees for network communications, with non-repudiation being the fourth pillar alongside authenticity, integrity, and confidentiality.

Anon-repudiation.Correct

Non-repudiation ensures that a sender cannot deny having transmitted a message, achieved through digital signatures and certificate-based authentication mechanisms built into IPSec's IKE negotiation. This property binds a verified identity to the transmitted data, preventing later denial. It completes the classic four security properties: authenticity, integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation.

Boperability.

Operability is not a recognized cryptographic security property and has no defined meaning in the context of IPSec or network security protocols.

Csecurity.

Security is too broad and generic to serve as a distinct fourth property - it encompasses all of the listed attributes rather than naming a specific guarantee.

Dusability.

Usability refers to ease of use in user experience design and is not a security property provided by cryptographic protocols like IPSec.
