What are inserted as cross-reference in Word?

Answer: D) Word fields

In Microsoft Word, cross-references are inserted as fields. A cross-reference allows you to refer to another part of the same document, such as a heading, figure, table, page number, or numbered item.
For example, you can write “See Figure 2 on page 5” and insert a cross-reference to Figure 2. If the figure's page number changes, Word can update the cross-reference field to display the correct page number.
