If your questions is
"The directory containing information about objects in a domain resides on computers called ___ controllers?"
Then the answer is Domain Controllers.
Reference, Pg. 444 Network+ Guide to Networks, Fifth Edition, Tamara Dean.
, the server hosting the replica of Active Directory database is called Domain Controller. In it's database is all information about all objects, that exist in particular Active Directory domain.

Application Directory Partition is a partition space in Active Directory which an application can use to store that application specific data. This partition is then replicated only to some specific domain controllers. The application directory partition can contain any type of data except security principles (users, computers, groups).
A directory list usually contains lists of information. An example of a physical directory list would be the Yellow Pages. For computers, a directory list would either be a list of files or a list of links to other files.
Active Directory stores information about all the objects, resources on the network, policies applied on them and permissions on the resources..objects can be users, computers, printers etc
Active Directory data is logically partitioned so that each domain controller does not store all objects in the directory. Each directory partition, also called a naming context, contains objects of a particular scope and purpose. Below are the three major Active Directory partitions described:-· Schema Partition defines the object classes and their attributes for the entire directory. The configuration is replicated to everydomain controller in the forest.· Domain Partition contains all the objects stored in a domain, including users, groups, computers, and group policy containers (GPCs). This partition information is replicated to all domain controllers within a domain, but not to domain controllers in other domains.· Configuration Partition contains objects that represent the logical struct-er of the forest, domains, as well as the physical topology, including sites, subnets, and services.Application Directory Partition replicates directory partition only to specific domain controllers. This is responsible for generating and maintaining Replication topology. Objects stored in Application directory partition are not replicated to the Global Catalog.
Outbound replication is when a domain controller transmits replication information to other domain controllers on a network andInbound replication is when a domain controller receives updates to the Active Directory database from other domain controllers on the network.
