(A) You cannot argue with taste.

(B) Beauty exists only in the eye of the beholder.

(3) Beauty is only skin deep.

(D) People will see only what they want to see.

X is beautiful even when no one is watching seems like it would be a rebuttal to Something is beautiful because it is being admired.

I'd pick B.
