Jason Liu · Answer 1

More than one million people were arrested for driving drunk in the United States last year.

Explanation:

This is the only piece of information that can be considered objective out of the four choices given. This information does not contain an opinion, but rather includes cold, hard facts related to drunk driving.

The moral debate surrounding drunk driving and any statements or arguments that appeal to the sentimental aspect of drunk driving cannot be considered objective since the answer to these questions depends on who is being asked.
