Refer to the exhibit. Based on the configuration that is shown, which statement is true about the IPS signature category?

A. Only signatures in the ios_ips basic category will be compiled into memory for scanning.
B. Only signatures in the ios_ips advanced category will be compiled into memory for scanning.
C. All signature categories will be compiled into memory for scanning, but only those signatures in the ios_ips basic category will be used for scanning purposes.
