B Correct answer
Explanation

'Rushing about' is a phrasal expression meaning moving around excitedly or busily in various directions. Children in a garden rushing about are running around energetically. 'By' indicates nearness, 'along' suggests movement in a line, and 'among' means being surrounded by something - none capture the sense of busy, multi-directional movement.
