I believe the answer is: (C)objective with a number of words relying on authority

Objective tone refers to the tone that is used by writers if they want to deliver an information in a factual and unbiased perspective. In order to use this tone, the writers need to provide evidence from a trusted source, which could be either an organization who had authority or an expert that has worked for a long time in the relevant field.
