C.
19 days
D.

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Heat cycle of buffalo is 21 days.
The mean length of the oestrous cycle is 21 days, with greater variation than observed in cattle. The signs of oestrus in buffalo are less overt than in cattle and homosexual behaviour between females is rare. The duration of oestrus is 5 - 27 h, with ovulation occurring 24 - 48 h (mean 34 h) after the onset of oestrus.
