A: Formula fields are calculated at runtime based on the formula definition and are not stored in the database.
C: Formula fields can reference fields from related objects, allowing cross-object calculations.
Why not other options?
B: Formulas cannot reference themselves; doing so would result in a circular reference error.
D: If a field used in a formula field is deleted, the formula field will break, and Salesforce will prevent deletion until the formula field is updated.

I feel like D is true too, because you can change fields without affecting the formula itself, but I need to double-check that.

I think A is definitely one of the characteristics since formulas are calculated on the fly, but I'm not sure about the second one.
