A Correct answer
Explanation

The cheetah is the fastest mammal on land, capable of reaching speeds up to 70-75 mph (110-120 km/h) in short bursts. Its specialized body structure, including flexible spine, long legs, and lightweight frame, enables this incredible speed. While antelopes are fast runners, and lions are powerful predators, neither matches the cheetah's explosive acceleration and top speed.
