Q: In great apes, what process lasts 8-9 months and usually results in the birth of a single offspring?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

Gestation (pregnancy) lasts 8-9 months and usually results in the birth of a single offspring. The young are born helpless, and thus, they need parental care for long periods of time. Compared with most other mammals, great apes have a long adolescence and are not fully mature until 8-13 years of age (longer in humans). Females usually give birth only once every few years.

 Choices:

- mating

- hibernation

- reproduction

- gestation


A:
gestation
