B Correct answer
Explanation

This question is tricky because 'peacock' can mean either the species (peafowl) or specifically the male bird. In common usage, 'peacock' refers to the male peafowl, which has elaborate tail feathers. However, female peafowl (peahens) do not have the ornamental tail feathers - they are drab brown. As a strict fact, NOT all peacocks (males) have feathers year-round - they shed their tail feathers annually after breeding season. The answer 'False' is correct.
