D.
Installing anti-malware
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

HIDS (Host Intrusion Detection System):Continuously monitors a system for suspicious activity and logs or raises alerts when potential threats are identified. This proactive approach is crucial for identifying and mitigating threats on a web server exposed to the external network.

Applying OS updates:While essential for maintaining system security, updates address vulnerabilities and may not necessarily identify ongoing threats.

Disabling unused services:Reduces the attack surface by minimizing potential entry points for malicious actors, but doesn't actively identify threats.

Installing anti-malware:Primarily designed to detect and remove malware after infection, not for ongoing threat identification.
