Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Sentence D introduces the specific action of the peacock, followed by sentence B explains the impression the peacock creates due to its display, suggesting that it seems proud, followed by s entence C which provides a clarification, dispelling the notion of the peacock being vain and instead stating the actual purpose behind its display.
