What is an objective summary?
An objective summary is a type that plainly starts the main matter without any input that points to the writer's personal feelings. In the text above, we can see the narration about the Captain and his voyages.
All other options have elements of personal opinion but option C does not have any of these. So we can refer to it as an objective summary.
