Solution

The correct option is B machine
The correct answer is Option B.
In the given sentence, the phrase 'OILED AND RUNNING SMOOTHLY' denotes that life is being compared to a machine. A machine is an object that works smoothly when given enough oiling. Thus Option B MACHINE is the correct answer.
The remaining options are incorrect because a path, garden or river do not work smoothly due to oiling.
