Some people becoming wealthy in Maasai society during colonial times was linked with what?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Livestock, trade and administrative links

Colonial change did not affect every Maasai person in exactly the same way. Some chiefs, elders, traders, or people with useful connections could gain from livestock sales, trade, employment, or dealings with officials. Such opportunities could increase their wealth and influence, while other pastoralists faced restrictions, loss of grazing land, or economic hardship. This created greater inequality within society.

Option A is correct because it links wealth with livestock, trade, and administrative relationships. The word “only” makes option B too narrow, and option C is wrong because the period did not make all pastoralists equal. Cattle continued to matter greatly, so option D is also incorrect. The key idea is unequal access to new opportunities.
