Answer
A
It distracts from the academic tone.
B
It makes the tone seem more judgmental.
C
It creates a more formal tone.

Explanation

“Whined” describes someone’s speech in a negative, critical way. That judgmental word makes the tone seem less neutral and creates an inconsistency if the surrounding writing is meant to be objective. So it makes the tone seem more judgmental.
