The correct Answer is:
To determine the scientific name of the peacock, we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Options**: The question provides four options for the scientific name of the peacock: - Option 1: Paso-domesticus - Option 2: Pavocristatus - Option 3: Archaeopteris lithográfica - Option 4: Cetacular eupatrica 2. **Evaluate Option 1 (Paso-domesticus)**: - This name refers to the Common House Sparrow. Since the peacock is a significantly different bird, this option is incorrect. 3. **Evaluate Option 2 (Pavocristatus)**: - This is the scientific name for the Indian peacock, which is indeed the national bird of India. This option is a strong candidate. 4. **Evaluate Option 3 (Archaeopteris lithográfica)**: - This name refers to an ancient bird-like dinosaur, considered the ancestor of all birds. Since it is extinct and not related to the peacock, this option is incorrect. 5. **Evaluate Option 4 (Cetacular eupatrica)**: - This name refers to parakeets, which are different from peacocks. Thus, this option is also incorrect. 6. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all options, the correct scientific name for the peacock is **Option 2: Pavocristatus**. ### Final Answer: The scientific name of the peacock is **Pavocristatus**. ---
