Explanation

Kerberos (D) is the authentication protocol that enables seamless Single Sign-On by leveraging an existing Windows login session. When a user logs into a Windows domain, the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) issues a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT). When that user accesses an SSO-enabled Cisco UC application, the browser or client automatically presents a Kerberos service ticket - no additional credential entry is required. This is called Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). Smart Card (A) requires physical card insertion and PIN entry. OAuth (B) is an authorization delegation framework, not a Windows-integrated authentication method. Form-based (C) explicitly requires the user to enter credentials into a web form.
