阅读以下短文，从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
You must have heard of Claude Monet, the famous French painter who founded Impressionism and greatly influenced the art world. Besides painting, he was also a passionate gardener.
Monet loved the countryside far more than busy Paris. When he lived in Argenteuil, he planted flower beds and painted them repeatedly. He recorded how light, weather and seasons changed the garden scenery on his canvases(油画布).
In 1883, 43-year-old Monet moved to Giverny and stayed there forever. He built a wonderful garden as his biggest creative inspiration. He chose different kinds of flowers to bloom from spring to autumn and arranged plants thoughtfully by color and height. Later he hired gardeners to take good care of the garden following his strict orders.
In 1893, Monet built a special water garden with a pond full of waterlilies(睡莲). He kept the pond clean to preserve the ever-changing water reflections.
Over his last 25 years, he painted over 250 works of the waterlily pond. These precious paintings are shown in global museums and still win high praise from art fans nowadays.
