Explanation
A subjective tone uses language that expresses a judgment or emotion rather than presenting information neutrally. Choice A adds loaded descriptions such as “dangerous Japanese spies” and “vulnerable,” which convey a particular attitude toward the people and materials described. The other revisions mostly rephrase the original in relatively neutral terms.
