A Correct answer
Explanation

Elephants have the longest gestation period among land mammals, approximately 22 months (nearly 2 years). Cows gestate for about 9 months, pigs for roughly 4 months, and horses for around 11 months. This extended pregnancy allows for proper development of the elephant's large brain and body.
