Why each option
Speaking a passphrase into a voice print analyzer combines two distinct authentication factors, making it two-factor authentication.
This scenario combines something you know (the passphrase) with something you are (the voice biometric captured by the voice print analyzer), which satisfies the definition of two-factor authentication requiring two different factor categories. Using a single method from two separate factor types is the hallmark of MFA/2FA.
Identification and authorization is not a standard authentication pairing; the relevant pairing is identification and authentication, and this answer misrepresents the process.
Single sign-on is a mechanism allowing one authentication event to access multiple systems, not a description of factor types used.
Single factor authentication uses only one authentication category; here both knowledge (passphrase) and biometric (voice) factors are used simultaneously.
