How could wealthy Maasai pastoralists cope better with crisis than poor pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because of more livestock and alternative resources

Pastoral crises do not affect every household in exactly the same way. A wealthy Maasai family usually owned a larger herd and therefore had more animals to sell, exchange, or use for food and milk. Such a family might also possess other resources, savings, connections, or access to alternative work. These supports could help it recover after drought, disease, or loss of pasture.

A poor pastoralist with only a few animals had much less protection. Losing even a small number of animals could remove both income and food security. Wealth did not make anyone completely safe from water shortages or disease, but it provided more choices and a stronger buffer. Therefore option A is correct. The other choices are false because all livestock need suitable water and fodder, and disease can affect different herds.
