Of the four authors that have written books about Hurricane Katrina, the one that is most likely offering an objective account is B: a day-by-day account by a print journalist.
We might think that A is the correct answer because nobody could tell the experience like a person who lived in the place where the hurricane happened. Despite of this fact, he or she will tell his / her own experience and it might not be the experience of others. It will be a subjective account, truthful, but subjective.

He started fearing for his own life even more at this point.
<em>"One white man in particular I saw, when we were permitted to be on deck, flogged so unmercifully with a large rope near the foremast, that he died in consequence of it; and they tossed him over the side as they would have done a brute. This made me fear these people the more; and I expected nothing less than to be treated in the same manner."</em>
