Explanation
A Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) is installed on a specific server and actively blocks intrusion attempts in real time. The key words are 'stop' (prevention, not just detection) and 'specific server' (host-based, not network-based). HIDS (C) only detects and alerts but does not stop intrusions. NIDS (B) detects at the network level but does not act on a single host. NIPS (D) prevents at the network perimeter but is not targeted at a specific server.
