I think is A. Let me mark some word from CRM: "Evaluation of the risk factors should be based on objective criteria, although subjectivity cannot be completely avoided."

This is because subjective judgments can lead to inconsistencies and inaccuracies in the risk assessment process, which can result in the auditor overlooking key areas that need to be audited

Subjective risk judgment is part of the risk assessment, it's the perceived chance of something bad based on a person's opinion, emotions, gut feeling, or intuition. It is not a mathematical review of the situation, but rather a quick assessment based on a person's feelings at the time.
