How do I make that category hidden from the guests' view? Just like the forum A?

Take a look at ldm/admin/permissions. I suspect that you have given unregistered users (etc) *can_see_protected_links_on_portal * permission. This means that they get to see the protected forums, but then get blocked/asked to register/etc when they try to access entries, depending on ldm/admin/settings *protected link*.

I am adding a new ldm permission in the next release (*can_view_category*) which will provide an easier method than forums-permissions to hide/block individual categories.
