Why each option
Azure AD Connect is the Microsoft tool that synchronizes on-premises Active Directory identities to Azure AD, enabling seamless SSO for Microsoft 365 users.
Intune is a cloud-based endpoint and mobile device management solution and does not handle identity synchronization or SSO configuration.
Azure AD Connect replicates user accounts, groups, and password hashes (or federates authentication) from an on-premises Active Directory domain controller to Azure AD. This synchronization allows users to sign in to Microsoft 365 and other Azure-integrated services with their existing corporate credentials, fulfilling the SSO requirement without requiring separate cloud-only accounts.
Teams is a collaboration and communication platform - it consumes identity from Azure AD but has no role in syncing or configuring SSO.
Azure Key Vault stores and manages cryptographic keys, secrets, and certificates and has no function in directory synchronization or SSO integration.
