Which ABAP Dictionary object can reference a domain?

The correct choice is that a data element can reference a domain. In the context of ABAP Dictionary, a domain defines the technical properties of a field, such as data type and length. It essentially serves as a template for the characteristics of data types in the ABAP system.

A data element is used to create a higher-level abstraction for fields by referencing a domain. It builds on the domain, allowing for the specification of additional attributes and semantics, such as the field's name and its associated documentation. This structured approach not only promotes reuse of definitions across different fields but also provides a layer of abstraction that separates the technical properties (defined in the domain) from the meaningful representation of the data in the application.

Choosing a data element is therefore crucial, as it allows developers to utilize the domain's properties while adding context for how that data should be understood in the application landscape.
