Which gestation period corresponds to cows?

• A. 281 days
• B. 147 days
• C. 114 days
• D. 340 days

Answer: (A)

Cows typically have a gestation period of about nine months, roughly 280 to 285 days. The value closest to that is 281 days, which is a common reference for bovine gestation. The other listed durations match other livestock: around 147 days for sheep, about 114 days for pigs, and roughly 340 days for horses. Remember, gestation length can vary a bit by breed and individual pregnancy, but 281 days best represents cows.
