The answer is Part B as that is the most descriptive.

The second alternative is correct (B).

A sentence that sharpens the senses is usually characterized by the description of colors, smells, physical characteristics that make the reader imagine that description.

In alternative B, the sensory details are summoned, when describing a red rose blooming and exuding perfume in a humid environment. Just close your eyes and see the scene.

The other alternatives do not present sensory statements.
