Explanation

When an HDI Calculation View needs to consume an External SAP HANA View from a Data Store Object (advanced), two things must be configured: the BW Package (A) - which the DSO (advanced) must be assigned to, ensuring its External HANA View is properly published and available - and a Cross-schema Service (C), which is required because HDI containers are schema-isolated environments; the cross-schema service grants the HDI container explicit access to the BW schema where the External HANA View resides.

Synonym (B) is a distractor: while synonyms are a common HDI pattern for referencing cross-schema objects, in this specific BW/4HANA + HDI integration, the cross-schema service is the mechanism that bridges the security boundary, making a separate synonym definition unnecessary and not the answer the question is testing.

Delivery Unit (D) is a transport container used to package and migrate SAP HANA Repository objects between systems (e.g., dev → QA → prod) - it has nothing to do with enabling runtime access between schemas.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-sided bridge - the Package configures the BW side (makes the object available), and the Cross-schema Service configures the HDI side (grants the container permission to cross the schema boundary). "Delivery Unit delivers, it doesn't connect."
