Explanation

Single Sign-On (SSO) means a user authenticates once and that authenticated session is transparently passed to other applications without re-authenticating. Option D - a web access control infrastructure that performs authentication and passes attributes to downstream applications - is the textbook definition of SSO (as implemented by SAML, OAuth/OIDC, or systems like SiteMinder). Option A still requires separate logins to each platform. Option B (LDAP integration) centralizes the credential store but does not necessarily eliminate re-authentication per application. Option C explicitly states the user is required to re-enter credentials, which disqualifies it as SSO.
