How was livestock connected with markets for Maasai pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Needs could be met by selling animals or animal products

For Maasai pastoralists, livestock was more than a source of food or social value; it was also an economic resource that could connect them with markets. Cattle, goats, sheep, milk, hides, and other animal products could be exchanged or sold when families needed grain, clothing, tools, medicine, or other goods. The form of exchange could differ by place and time, but animals and their products helped pastoral households meet practical needs.

Option A is incorrect because livestock could be involved in trade. Option B is too narrow: animals could have cultural importance, but they also supported everyday economic life. Option C is an absurdly specific claim and does not explain the wider market relationship. Therefore option D is correct because selling animals or animal products could provide money or goods and connect pastoral livelihoods with markets.
