What is a gestation period?

  1. The time a rabbit takes to mature.

  2. The period a doe is pregnant.

  3. The time it takes for a rabbit to give birth.

  4. The period from birth to weaning.

The correct answer is: The period a doe is pregnant.

A gestation period is the time during which a female animal, such as a rabbit, carries and nourishes her offspring in the womb before giving birth. This can vary among different species, but typically refers to the period of pregnancy. Option A is incorrect because it only mentions the time it takes for a rabbit to mature, but not specifically during pregnancy. Option C is also incorrect because it only states the time it takes for a rabbit to give birth, but does not consider the whole period of pregnancy. Option D is incorrect because it refers to the period after birth, which is not related to the gestation period. Option B is the most accurate choice as it specifically refers to the time during which a doe is pregnant and carrying her offspring.
