Solution

The correct option is B Peahen

The answer to the given sentence is Option B, Peahen.

As per the question, the sentence would have the male gender noun to be replaced by the feminine noun, by adding a word before or after that. The male noun, ‘Peacock’, is a bird which possesses a feature of beautiful long feathers which tends to expand and form a semicircular shape when it rains. The only Option correct in the manner of meaning and being the exact feminine counterpart is ‘Peahen’, that is Option B.

The rest other options are all words, which do not actually exist and are hence wrong making option B the correct answer.
