B. The yin and yang do not always work together.

Explanation:

The likening of the relation of the Dao to the world like that of great rivers to seas symbolically presents the idea that the two variables cannot match. Rivers are very small in comparison with seas and great rivers. This shows us the distinct power and authority between the two with one being far too mightier that the other, hence indicating incompatibility.
