"Objectively Validated" means something that can be verified with clarity by almost anyone and something which lacks a personal bias/inclination. Objective validation means being able to review/cross check said details in a neutral setting and in a tangible manner.
We can say that reviews A and D reflect personal experiences/opinions rather than an objective review.
However, what we can do is validate review B with confidence: whether the book is genuinely more popular among the youth than among the older generation. This can be done by carrying out an independent survey - hence, objective validation.
