I can't seem to get a definitive answer to this. What does "Max demonstrated X-wind" actually mean?

Is it:
A) Most crosswind the aircraft has been landed in without kicking off drift (crab technique).
B) Most crosswind the aircraft has been landed in with drift kicked off (crab technique).
C) Most demonstrated using wing down method.
D) None of the above.
As I understand from an old test-pilot friend some years ago.

....Using the maximum crosswind available during the certification phase for the aircraft, and, using the cross-wind landing technique as described in the Aircraft Flight Manual / FCOM.
