Explanation:

The word "raids" implies a negative, forceful action, which adds emotion to the language. This shows bias rather than objectivity. The word "preschoolers" is a neutral term for a group of children and does not add emotion. The first two options claim objectivity incorrectly as "raids" is not neutral.

Answer:

The headline is not objective because the word raids adds emotion to the language.
