How can the relation between the age-set system and pastoralism in Maasai society be understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Social roles were linked with livestock, defence and decisions

The age-set system organised Maasai society by assigning different responsibilities to groups of similar age. Younger men, especially morans, could have duties connected with protecting people and herds, while elders took part in guidance, discussion, and decision-making. Since cattle were central to food, wealth, and social life, these roles were closely connected with pastoralism. Social organisation therefore helped regulate herd care, defence, and community decisions.

Option A is correct because it brings together livestock, defence, and decision-making. Age-sets were not school groups, and pastoralism was not separate from society. The statement about warriors and elders being maritime traders is unrelated. The lesson is that an economic way of life also requires social institutions to organise responsibilities and authority.
