I think the answer is A.Formal Objective, it's a form someone fills out so it isn't meant to be ironic, or sincere so my guess is A. Hope this helps :)

Correct answer choice is:

A. Formal, objective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Formal and objective writing is communicating that manipulates detached and specific writing. Writing formally and objectively needs a composer to write in an official-sounding way without bestowing an assumption. ... Formal and objective writing should further withdraw the use of the first person or the particular point of view.
