• A. 310 days
• B. 300 days
• C. 290 days
• D. 280 days

Hint:

Gestation periods: Cow ≈ 290 days, Buffalo ≈ 310 days, Goat/Sheep ≈ 150 days, Pig ≈ 115 days.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall gestation period in cattle.
Gestation = time from conception to calving. For cows, the average gestation period is 283–290 days (about 9.5 months).
Step 2: Analyze the options.
(A) 310 days – higher than average, applies more to buffalo.
(B) 300 days – still longer than normal for cows.
(C) 290 days – correct average for cows.
(D) 280 days – close but slightly lower.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Therefore, the correct gestation period of cows is about 290 days.
