How do colonial boundaries and drought form a cause-effect chain in the Maasai crisis?

Correct answer: Colonial boundaries restrict seasonal movement; during drought, declining pasture and water deepen the livestock crisis

Colonial boundaries restricted the Maasai’s traditional seasonal movement and access to different grazing grounds. During drought, they could not easily move towards better pasture or water sources; shortages of fodder and water weakened livestock and intensified the crisis. Option B reverses the actual effects. Exam tip: write the sequence clearly—restricted mobility, drought, shortage of pasture, and livestock loss.
