Explanation

Pavo cristatus is the correct scientific name for the Indian Peafowl (peacock). The other options are all wrong: Ananas comosus is pineapple, Canis familiaris is dog, Mangifera indica is mango, and Lens esculenta is lentil. The genus 'Pavo' identifies it as a peafowl, and 'cristatus' refers to the crest on its head.
