Answer:

D. Both 2 & 4

From "The Devil and Tom Walker", a short story by Washington Irving, we see that Peabody was known to be the owner of the swamp where Tom Walker meets Old Scratch. Peabody is known to have made his fortune when trading with Native Americans. Yet he was known to be rotten inside.

The tree that the stranger showed Tom was seen to be fair and flourishing outside but rotten inside. Also, on the bark of the tree the name of Deacon Peabody was scored. Peabody is known to have waxed wealthy due to the shrewd bargains he had with Indians. This actually shows how the hypocrisy of Peabody is symbolized.
