One has to additionally understand that there are distinctive collective nouns used for various things for e.g. – a set of people, a clutter of puppies, a herd of deer etc. Now, with parrots’ collective nouns like – company, pandemonium, or flock is used. This at once suggests that the best alternative might be – alternative b. Option a & c are wrong as bunch & herd aren't used to symbolize a set of parrots. Bunch is used to signify agencies like – bunch of bananas, bunch of grapes etc. and herd is used to outline a set of positive forms of animals like – a herd of deer, herd of buffaloes etc. And alternative d is inaccurate due to the fact alternative b is correct.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
