The correct answer is

Subjective

In the study of communication, meaning exists at two levels: objective/denotative meaning, which is the shared, dictionary-based meaning common to all users of a language, and personal or connotative meaning, which is the meaning an individual receiver attaches to a message based on their own experiences, emotions, culture, and frame of reference.
Because personal meaning depends on the perceiver's unique psychological state and background, it varies from person to person for the very same message.
This variability is precisely what defines something as subjective rather than objective, critical, or passive.
Hence, the personal meaning of information in communication is correctly described as Subjective.
