B Correct answer
Explanation

Peony buds produce nectar on their outer scales that attracts ants, but ants are not necessary for the flowers to open. The buds open naturally through biological processes as they mature. While ants may help protect buds from other insects, the opening mechanism is independent of ant presence.
