Why each option
The digitizer is the component responsible for converting touch input into electrical signals, so its replacement is the most likely solution for an unresponsive touchscreen after basic software troubleshooting fails.
The System on a Chip (SoC) contains the main processing units; while essential, a faulty SoC would typically cause much broader system failures, not just an unresponsive touchscreen.
An accelerometer detects changes in the phone's orientation and movement, which is unrelated to touch input.
The digitizer is the component of a smartphone screen that detects touch input. If the touch screen is not responding to any input despite software troubleshooting steps, the digitizer hardware is most likely faulty and needs replacement.
A gyroscope detects orientation and angular velocity, used for features like screen rotation or VR, and is not responsible for touch input.
