The passage you've provided is an example of (A) precision.

Precision refers to the specific details and criteria outlined in the statement, such as the requirement to prove submission of research within three months. It focuses on the exactness and clarity of the conditions set forth, rather than the correctness or truthfulness of the overall statement (which would be related to accuracy).
