Why each option
In vSphere 6.x, the Platform Services Controller (PSC) must be deployed before vCenter Server because vCenter depends on core services the PSC provides.
vCenter Identity Services is not a real standalone component in the vSphere 6.x architecture; this is a distractor.
The Platform Services Controller hosts shared infrastructure services including vCenter Single Sign-On, licensing, certificate management (VMCA), and the lookup service. vCenter Server connects to the PSC at installation time to consume these services, making the PSC a hard prerequisite. Without a PSC - either embedded or external - the vCenter Server installer cannot complete.
vCenter Single Sign-On is a service hosted inside the Platform Services Controller, not a separately deployable prerequisite component.
The Client Integration Plug-In is a browser helper for enhanced Web Client features and has no role in vCenter Server deployment.
