After which statement will the runtime system initialize the ABAP memory?

The correct choice is based on how ABAP handles memory and data during program execution. The statement “LEAVE TO TRANSACTION” is significant because it initiates a new transaction and effectively transitions the runtime context, which includes the initialization of ABAP memory.

When “LEAVE TO TRANSACTION” is executed, it allows the current program to leave its context and enter a separate transaction. This transition necessitates a reset of the ABAP memory, ensuring that any residual data from the previous transaction does not affect the new one. Thus, this statement leads to the proper initialization of ABAP memory for the new context.

In contrast, the other options either do not initiate a change in context that would require a memory initialization or do so in a different manner that does not reset ABAP memory in the same way. For example, “SUBMIT... AND RETURN” and “SUBMIT” execute a program but do not reset the ABAP memory in the same manner as a full transaction switch. “CALL TRANSACTION” performs a transaction call but operates within the same session and does not require a complete reinitialization of the ABAP memory either. Therefore, the choice of "LEAVE TO TRANSACTION" accurately reflects the statement that results in the initialization
