Explanation

Rubrics are tools that interpret and grade students on set criteria, ensure transparency and fairness, and are an innovative evaluation system.

A grading tool based on a criterion (1) correctly describes a rubric.

Increasing subjective evaluation (2) is false, as rubrics reduce subjectivity.

Ensuring transparency and fairness in marking (3) is a genuine benefit of rubrics.

Hampering standardization (4) is false, since rubrics promote consistent grading.

Being an innovative evaluation system (5) fits the rubric approach.

A rubric lists criteria against performance levels, guiding both scoring and student self-assessment.
