A voice call places an automated call to a registered phone number and either prompts the user to approve the sign-in or reads a one-time passcode. Because the user must have physical possession of that phone line, the call satisfies the "something you have" factor and can be combined with a password (something you know) to meet MFA requirements. The other options rely only on knowledge factors and do not supply the required second factor.
