Answer: (A)

Subjective assessment is an evaluation based on personal opinions, feelings, and judgments rather than purely numerical data. When a coach or athlete bases an appraisal on how something looks or feels—technique quality, decision-making, effort, or overall performance—it's driven by their perceptions and experiences. This fits the prompt because the assessment hinges on subjective impressions rather than objective measurements like times, distances, or scores.

In practice, this approach is useful for capturing aspects of performance that aren’t easily measured with numbers, such as consistency of technique or tactical understanding. To make it more reliable, it’s common to use clear rubrics, involve multiple assessors, and combine with objective data where possible.
