HIDS will provide the granularity required. HIDS monitor systems' activity, threat, processes, users involved. NIDS monitors mostly network traffic and not the processes INSIDE the hosts until they try to extend in the netflow logs

Apparently UEBA is, or can be, a software, but is not in the IDS category, which the question is requiring.

The question clearly states "software must be able to monitor SYSTEM activity". UEBA is not an IDS.. The answer is clearly HIDS. A simple google search should confirm this..
