  1. B is correct!
    Check that link which is indicated above, there is written:
    – behavior-based IDS solutions monitor behaviors that may be linked to attacks, (this sentence is copied word-by-word from that link)
    – A signature-based IDS solution typically monitors inbound network traffic to find sequences and patterns that match a particular attack signature. (is pretty close to the second half of the answer)
