A Correct answer
Explanation

Adult pigs have the dental formula I 3/3, C 1/1, P 4/4, M 3/3 = 44 teeth. Adult horses can have up to 44 teeth (I 3/3, C 1/1, P 3/3 or 4/4, M 3/3). Cows typically have 32 teeth, rats have 16, dogs have 42, and cats have 30. Therefore, pig and horse is the correct pair for 44 teeth.
