The answer is B. A sparrow is tiny, but it's got all the organs. Something small, but fully functional. Think a smartphone. A tiny device, but has a thousand features. Or a studio apartment that's a bedroom, and a kitchen, and a toilet, and everything. Like microwave, bed, and shower, all in the same room. Efficient. Because ancient China loved efficiency. Like dumplings. Tiny, but stuffed with flavor of a little bit of everything. You can use this to praise compact efficiency. For example, your friend's mini drone has 4K video.
