Why each option

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is specifically designed to monitor network or system activities for malicious or policy-violating attempts to access, manipulate, or disable computer systems.

ADAS

DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is a storage configuration, unrelated to detecting security threats.

BIPsec

IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) is a suite of protocols used for securing IP communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet, not for detecting intrusions.

CIDSCorrect

An Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is a security technology that monitors network traffic and/or system activities for suspicious patterns or known attack signatures. Its primary purpose is to detect unauthorized access, manipulation, or attempts to disable systems, generating alerts when such activities are identified.

DACL

An ACL (Access Control List) is a set of rules that governs access to network resources or files, acting as a preventative measure, but it does not actively detect intrusion attempts.
