A user wants to share a secure view that references an object located in a...

To share a secure view, the share requires USAGE on the database and schema that contain the secure view and SELECT on the secure view itself.

When the secure view references an object in another database, the share must also receive REFERENCE_USAGE on the referenced database. This privilege allows objects in the shared database to reference objects in another database without granting the consumer direct access to the referenced database’s objects.

Granting ordinary USAGE on the referenced database is not the documented replacement for REFERENCE_USAGE in this cross-database sharing scenario.

Correction: The original option D incorrectly said USAGE on the secure view. Views receive the SELECT privilege, not the USAGE privilege. None of the original options was fully correct until that wording was corrected.
