The correct option is A

24 –36 hour

Estrus or oestrus refers to the phase when the female is sexually receptive, ready to accept male and mate. The female then exhibits sexually receptive behaviour. this estrous/oestrous period is the part of an estrous cycle shown by non-primate mammals. It differs from a menstrual cycle in the fact that endometrium is reabsorbed if there is no conception. So there is no bloody discharge at the end of the cycle. Another difference is that in species with estrous cycles, females are generally only sexually active during the estrus (oestrus) phase of their cycle, called heat period.
