Why each option
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a system that enables users to authenticate once with a single set of credentials and then gain access to multiple independent applications or systems without re-authenticating.
Tickets are often part of SSO systems (like Kerberos), but "Tickets" itself is not the name of the system that provides single sign-on functionality.
Single Sign-On (SSO) allows a user to authenticate once and subsequently access multiple authorized applications and services without needing to re-enter credentials for each.
Challenge Response is an authentication method where a system presents a challenge and the user provides a response to prove identity, not an SSO system.
Token-based authentication uses tokens for authentication, but it's a method that can be part of SSO, not the SSO system itself.
Biometrics is a type of authentication factor ("something you are"), not a system for single sign-on across multiple applications.
