Explanation:

To determine subjective language, we analyze each option:

• "ships package and freeze tons of fish in one operation": Describes a factual action.
• "use GPS and sonar to locate": Describes a factual process.
• "fishing trawlers wreak havoc": "Wreak havoc" implies a negative judgment (subjective) about the trawlers' impact, as it's an opinionated description rather than a neutral fact.
• "biggest, fastest, and most technologically advanced": These are comparative adjectives but can be factual if based on measurable criteria (e.g., size, speed, tech specs). "Wreak havoc" is more clearly subjective as it conveys a value judgment.

Answer:

C. "fishing trawlers wreak havoc"
