Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept:
Gestation period is the time between conception and birth of offspring. Different animals have characteristic gestation periods, which are important in animal husbandry and breeding management.

Step 1: Gestation period of Mare

• Mare (female horse) has one of the longest gestation periods.
• Average duration is about 336 days.

Step 2: Gestation period of Buffalo

• Buffalo gestation is slightly longer than cow.
• Average duration is about 310 days.

Step 3: Gestation period of Cow

• Cow gestation is approximately 282 days.

Step 4: Gestation period of Ewe

• Ewe (female sheep) gestation is about 148 days.

Step 5: Gestation period of Sow

• Sow (female pig) gestation is about 114 days.
• Commonly remembered as “3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days”. Final Order: \[ \text{Mare} = 336,\; \text{Buffalo} = 310,\; \text{Cow} = 282,\; \text{Ewe} = 148,\; \text{Sow} = 114 \] \[ \boxed{336, 310, 282, 148, 114} \]
