elephants are the biggest 【 】on land.

A animals B animal

Which is the correct answer and could you please tell the reason? Thank you very much!
 
    • After 'are' I would use the plural, 'animals'.
    Elephants are the biggest animals on land.​

    You can express the same idea in the singular:
    The elephant is the biggest animal on land.​
    Here, 'the elephant' stands for that type of animal, or all elephants combined.
