Correct answer: B
Explanation
B is correct because the iridescent colors of peacock feathers are due to structural coloration involving selective reflection. A is incorrect because absorption relates to light being taken in, not reflected as color. C is incorrect because interference is a phenomenon that can cause color but is not the primary mechanism described for these patterns. D is incorrect because while they form a pattern, the specific vibrant colors are due to physical properties of the feathers.
