The choice of animals like camels and cattle among African pastoralists was based on what logic?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Local climate and resource availability

The animals kept by African pastoralists were not selected randomly or because of outside fashion. Pastoral communities observed the climate, water supply, vegetation, disease conditions, and the usefulness of animals for transport, milk, meat, or trade. Camels can survive with little water and are useful in dry regions, while cattle need more dependable grazing and water. Thus animal choice was closely connected with the environment and available resources.

Option A is correct because it expresses this relationship between local conditions and pastoral life. The other choices do not explain the practical reasons for choosing animals: European fashion, sea-trade distance, and railway law were not the main basis of herd selection. The important idea is adaptation: communities chose animals that could live successfully in their surroundings and support their livelihood.
