Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An objective piece of information, therefore, needs either to be the whole truth and at least be unbiased or balanced, whereas a subjective point of view is biased because it is either not the complete picture or it is merely a viewpoint or expression of feelings. It is a statement that is completely unbiased.
