Why each option

Cain (Cain and Abel) is a multi-purpose Windows security tool that combines password cracking, network enumeration, and VoIP session capture in a single application.

AJohn the Ripper

John the Ripper is a command-line password cracker focused primarily on Unix/Linux password hashes and does not include Windows enumeration or VoIP sniffing features.

BL0phtcrack

L0phtCrack is a dedicated Windows password auditing and recovery tool only; it does not perform network enumeration or VoIP session capture.

CObiwan

Obiwan is not a recognized security tool associated with Windows password cracking, enumeration, or VoIP sniffing capabilities.

DCainCorrect

Cain and Abel is specifically designed for Windows environments and integrates Windows password hash cracking (NTLM, LM), active directory and network enumeration, and VoIP session sniffing and recording via packet capture. No other option combines all three of these capabilities in a single tool.
