B. Peaceful.

Explanation:

All we read is a serene description of what is taking place at a natural environment. The author does not seem to be taking any precautions, and he does not sound afraid or sad in any way. All the author does is provide the reader with a beautiful piece of imagery. In fact, it causes the reader to feel at peace as well.
