Regarding Peacock tarantula (Gooty tarantula), consider the following statements : I. It is an omnivorous crustacean. II. Its natural habitat in India is only limited to some forest areas. III. In its natural habitat, it is an arboreal species. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Option (D) is correct because the Peacock tarantula (*Poecilotheria metallica*) is endemic to a highly restricted forest area in Andhra Pradesh and is strictly arboreal, typically living in tree hollows. Statement I is incorrect—and serves as the primary distractor—because the species is an arachnid (spider), not a crustacean, and is primarily insectivorous rather than omnivorous. The core concept tested is the geographical distribution, habitat preferences, and biological classification of critically endangered fauna in India.
