SSH multi factor authentication

There has been some good discussion around our IBM security team as to what
actually constitutes SSH multi factor authentication.  There are 2 options
being discussed.

One, the Google Authenticator (OTP authentication).
Two, Public/Private key authentication (pubkeyauthentication = yes) which
supports pass phrase private key authentication.

Which of these is considered multi-factor authentication and can you give a
brief response?  There are different opinions here and your opinion is
greatly appreciated.
