Explanation

Operations Security (OPSEC) (B) is exactly this process - it originated in military contexts and involves identifying, controlling, and protecting unclassified but sensitive information that adversaries could exploit to gain an operational advantage. OPSEC asks: 'What can an adversary observe about our actions?' IDS (A) is an Intrusion Detection System for monitoring network/system activity. HIDS (C) is a Host-based Intrusion Detection System. NIDS (D) is a Network-based Intrusion Detection System. None of IDS, HIDS, or NIDS are concerned with adversarial observation of friendly actions.
