Max demonstrated crosswind definition please

Hi all!
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 a footnote, what percentage of Vref would you say is the max theoretical crosswind if you use crab technique and kick the drift off. I've done 25kts X-wind in a 152 (Vref: 65) so 25/65 * 100 = 38%

TIA
