SAML SSO is the correct choice when the goal is to reduce repeated credential prompts across multiple services. SAML uses a federated identity model, where users authenticate through an identity provider and then use assertions to access service providers without repeatedly entering credentials. This is exactly the value of single sign-on. HTML form authentication is more local and application-specific; it can authenticate users to a protected site, but it does not provide the same cross-service identity federation. Option B overstates SAML as a policy-blocking mechanism. Option C may be simpler but does not meet the SSO requirement. Option D incorrectly describes HTML form authentication as token-based remote-service access.

Link cloaking is the FortiWeb feature designed to hide sensitive URLs or links from automated scanners and crawlers that parse HTML source code. In this scenario, the problem is not routing, encryption, or packet inspection; the problem is that bots can read embedded links directly from page content and enumerate sensitive paths such as Login, Payment, and Admin. Link cloaking helps obscure those links so that automated tools cannot easily discover them while normal users can still navigate the site as intended. URL rewriting changes URLs for routing or presentation, but it is not the most precise feature for hiding embedded links from scanners. Deep packet inspection is too broad and does not specifically solve HTML link enumeration.
