This sentence is objective, because it is based on facts and does not present feelings or opinions. A subjective statement is affected by personal views; in other words, it is peculiar to a particular individual, so the third option must be discarded - "subjective because it is based on facts and does not present feelings." An objective statement is neither affected nor distorted by personal or individual judgements or interpretations, so the second option must be discarded as well - "it is objective because it presents personal feelings and opinions in addition to the facts." Since the author of this sentence is simply identifying the synopsis of Preston's book, without making any judgement (he or she does give his or her opinion about the Ebola virus, but the virus can often be deadly), the sentence can be described as objective.
