My language is portuguese, and the peacock is called "pavão". Hence the answer is Pavo cristatus .

A scientific name has two parts: genus and species. Only 2 options here are scientific names(the first and second one) , and the others are not. I know that Homo sapiens is the scientific name for humans, so Pavo cristatus is the scientific name for peacocks.

Its very easy there were only 2 options having 2 terms out of which one was homo sapiens which refers to humans. Thus the answer is the other one.
