Solution
The answer is C: essay.
Explanation for each option:
A. Multiple choice - This is an example of an objective question because it provides specific options from which the respondent must choose the correct answer. The evaluation of the response is straightforward and not open to interpretation.
B. Fill in the blank - This is also an example of an objective question. Although it requires the respondent to supply an answer, there is typically a specific correct answer expected, making it objective.
C. Essay - This is not an example of an objective question. Essays require the respondent to express their thoughts, arguments, and analyses in a written format. The evaluation of essays is subjective, as it depends on the interpretation and judgment of the evaluator.
D. Triefitis - This appears to be a nonsensical or fictional term and does not represent a known type of question. However, since the question asks for an example of a non-objective question, the essay is the clear choice among the given options.
