Explanation:

"To Be" verb is an irregular and basic verb in English used both as a main verb or as an auxiliary. In the case of "be" as an auxiliary verb is used with other verbs to create a different tense, while in the case of "be" as the main verb is the main verb in a sentence, but the meaning of it and forms vary. Present forms of the verb "To be" include am, are and is, while past forms of it include was and were. In the sentence The flowers in the garden bloom beautifully "be" is not part of the sentence neither as a main verb nor as an auxiliary verbs, instead of this, the main verb is bloom which means flourish and this is also, a regular verb with different features to those of "To Be" verb. Additionally, other options include "To Be" verb as they include the words is and was, which are forms of this verb.
