The use of Maasai grazing land for white settlement shows which colonial policy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Prioritising settlement and state interests over local grazing

The direct answer is Option A: colonial authorities prioritised settlement and state interests over local grazing. The event shows that land used by Maasai pastoralists was reassigned for white settlement, reflecting unequal colonial control over land. The reasoning is: colonial power claimed or reorganised territory; settlers and administrative interests received priority; local seasonal grazing and livelihood lost space; therefore the policy placed settlement and state interests above pastoral needs. Option A states this accurately. Option B, expanding Maasai ownership, says the opposite. Option C, opening pastures without limit, does not describe land being taken for settlement. Option D, making pastoralists tax-free, concerns taxation and does not explain land appropriation. Memory cue: colonial land settlement often meant local livelihood was displaced.
