Answer:

B. Watching the daffodils made Wordsworth happy, but even he did not realize how important they were.

Explanation:

This stanza belongs to I wandered lonely as a Cloud (Daffodils) by William Wordsworth.

The fact of the matter is that the whole scene has all of a sudden been contributed with a happy human-like nearness. Since waves don't bring as much bliss as the yellow blossoms, the blooms "out-did" the water with their satisfaction.  

Regardless of his prior depression, the speaker presently can't resist the urge to feel glad, or "gay," with such an excellent vision to take a gander at.  The redundancy of "gaze" reveals to us that he continued taking a gander at the blooms for quite a while. Maybe the speaker appreciates taking a gander at these daffodils at the time, however doesn't understand precisely how extraordinary of a blessing he has quite recently gotten with this vision.
