Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The Chinese garden aesthetic traditionally emphasizes naturalism and the imitation of natural landscapes, favoring irregularities, surprises, and reflections that mimic nature. A geometric layout of flowers is more characteristic of formal Western gardens, not the Chinese style, which seeks to avoid rigid, geometric arrangements in favor of more organic, flowing designs.
