Explanation

SUDO (Superuser Do) is the correct answer. It allows a system administrator to delegate authority by granting specific users the ability to run specific commands as root (or another user), as defined in the /etc/sudoers configuration file.

Snort (D) is a network intrusion detection/prevention system.
