The correct answer is A. vCenter Single Sign-On Administrator.

Explanation: Single Sign-On (SSO) is a feature in VMware vSphere that allows users to log in once and access multiple systems without being prompted to log in again. In order to configure vCenter Single Sign-On, an administrator needs to have the appropriate permissions.

The vCenter Single Sign-On Administrator role is specifically designed for users who need to configure SSO in vSphere. This role provides permissions to manage and configure the SSO service, including managing identity sources, configuring authentication policies, and managing users and groups.

The vCenter Administrator role provides permissions to manage the entire vCenter Server instance, including SSO. However, this role may not be appropriate for users who only need to configure SSO and not other vCenter Server settings.

The vCenter Server Appliance Root role provides full administrative access to the vCenter Server Appliance, including the SSO service. However, this role is only applicable for users who are managing the vCenter Server Appliance directly, and not for users who are managing vCenter Server instances running on Windows servers.

The vCenter Power User role provides permissions to perform common vCenter Server tasks, but does not provide access to configure SSO.

Therefore, the best answer for this question is A. vCenter Single Sign-On Administrator.
