My answer to the question was "imagery and feeling", but the answer of the book, written by a teacher who are not professional english one, was "human action". Asnwering the exercises which belong to the book for the last several months, I have found some answers of that book incorrect at times. That's why I questioned that question.

I agree with you. Your choice is the right one.
"Subjective" is traditionally used to describe our impressions, or reactions, not our actions. Imagery and feeling are personal things - internal, so to speak - of the mind.
"Human action" tends to be physical - obviously the realm of the scientist, not the artist, as your article makes abundantly clear.
