Jeske argues that when evaluating an agent's moral judgments, culture is relevant because it affects what it is rational for that agent to believe. In other words, cultural context can influence an agent's moral reasoning and judgment, and it is important to take that into account when evaluating their actions. Cultural relativism with agent-relativity (A) and speaker-relativity (C) do not accurately capture Jeske's argument. While avoiding judgmental arrogance (B) may be a good general principle, it is not directly related to the argument being made.
