Answer: D) Subjective and inaccurate.

Explanation:

Estimation based on subjective analysis that is done on personal thoughts, opinion and view. It does not consider facts and figure to make approximation rather person's own perceptions are considered. Accuracy defines exactness and preciseness of any anything.

According to the question, estimation made by writer was not accurate because he missed the deadline in terms of time and did not include facts and information to make estimation rather it was made on personal thinking.

Other options are incorrect because estimation is not precise and objective. Thus, the correct option is option (D).
