How could Maasai livestock strategy change when confined to limited reserve areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They had to pay more attention to herd size, grazing time and alternative sources

A reserve with limited land restricts the amount of grass, water, and space available for animals. Pastoralists can no longer move freely or maintain very large herds without risking overgrazing and shortage. They may therefore need to decide how many animals the land can support, when and where to graze, and whether to use cultivation, markets, or other sources for food and income. Planning becomes more important, not less.

Option A is correct because it identifies herd size, grazing time, and alternative resources as connected decisions. Unlimited herds would not be sustainable in a restricted area. Cattle cannot live without fodder, and the need for grazing plans does not disappear. Colonial restrictions thus forced changes in livestock management and livelihood strategy.
