Why each option
Duo is Cisco's Multi-Factor Authentication solution, and its primary purpose is verifying user identity before granting access, especially for remote access scenarios.
SSL VPN is a capability of Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, not Duo Security.
Duo Security is Cisco's MFA platform that authenticates user identity by requiring a second factor - such as a push notification, SMS code, or hardware token - before permitting access to applications and VPNs. This identity verification is especially critical for remote access, where password-only authentication is insufficient to confirm legitimate users.
Duo enforces authentication policies but does not automate the creation of IT policies; policy automation is not a Duo feature.
pxGrid (Platform Exchange Grid) is a Cisco ISE feature for sharing contextual data between security products, not a Duo capability.
