Agreed @Jai.

This is very good example telling us to read the question very well and choose the best matching answer!

Thank you.

Because the adjective and adverb used(oiled and smoothly) are giving hint for the option B.

Oiled path is out of the question.
Garden is stationary, never run.
River flows smoothly, doesn't run.

So Machine is best option available.
