Explanation

Renaming a field directly in the Data pane can be done two ways: using the field's drop-down menu and selecting Rename (A), or clicking and holding on the field until it becomes an inline editable text box (C) - both modify the field's display name within the workbook without altering the underlying data source.

Option B is wrong because "Replace References" swaps one field for another across the workbook; it doesn't rename anything. Option D is wrong because Format > Field Labels controls how axis/header labels are displayed (font, visibility, etc.), not the field's name itself.

Memory tip: Think "R for Rename" - both correct methods live in the Data pane and give you direct rename access. Any option that takes you elsewhere (Format menu) or does something structurally different (Replace References) is a distractor.
