Explanation

Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to authenticate once and gain access to multiple systems, applications, or databases without needing to log in again for each one. The key indicator here is 'enters credentials once' and 'access multiple databases without being reprompted.' Two-factor authentication (A) and multifactor authentication (C) describe the number/type of authentication factors used, not the ability to access multiple resources with one login. Network access control (B) determines whether a device is allowed onto the network at all.
