Explanation
'Beautiful' describes the noun 'flower' — it answers 'what kind of flower?', the standard test for an adjective. The word 'very' before it is an adverb modifying 'beautiful', which further proves 'beautiful' is an adjective (adverbs modify adjectives). It is not a preposition or a conjunction. Hence (A) Adjective is correct.
