Which excerpt from a student essay maintains the most objective tone?

C. The careful way Elisa tends her garden reveals that she takes great pride in her abilities as a gardener.

An objective tone means the author of the essay is not sharing her/his personal opinion, bias or judgment about a subject, but presenting the information impartially.

The remaining options have a subjective tone, through the use of the pronouns "me" or "I", which indicate the student is presenting a personal opinion about Eliza.
