Solution

The correct option is C 22 months
Smaller species normally have a shorter gestation period than larger animals. For example, a cat's gestation normally takes 58-65 days while an elephant takes nearly 2 years (22 months). The average gestation period of an elephant is about 640 to 660 days or roughly 95 weeks. Elephants have the longest gestation period of all mammals.
