Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Gestation period for swine is 114 days.
Fetal development occurs between attachments of fertilized embryos to the uterus, to the days right before parturition (birth). The length of time a sow is pregnant, or gestating, is about 115 days, or 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days.
During this time the piglets go through different phases of development, which we will separate into 5 major phases: Day 0 - 15, Day 13 - 30, Day 30 - 77, Day 77 - 90, Day 90 - 114.
