Explanation

All three listed tools are legitimate and commonly used network monitoring tools. A packet sniffer (e.g., Wireshark) captures and analyzes raw network traffic. An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) monitors traffic for suspicious patterns and known attack signatures. A vulnerability scanner (e.g., Nessus) probes systems for known weaknesses. Together they represent different layers of network visibility: traffic capture, threat detection, and weakness discovery. 'All of the above' is correct because each individually qualifies as a network monitoring tool.
