Explanation

The key phrases are 'detect AND defend' and 'network/organization level.' A Network Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS) does both - it monitors network traffic for malicious activity and actively blocks or prevents threats. NIDS (A) only detects but cannot block. HIDS (D) and HIPS (C) are host-based, protecting individual machines rather than the organization's network as a whole. NIPS is the only choice that is both network-level and preventive.
