What could be a social effect of land loss for Maasai pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Decline in cattle could affect prestige and wealth

The direct answer is Option A: a decline in cattle could affect prestige and wealth. In Maasai society, cattle were an important store of wealth and a source of social respect. Land loss can reduce access to grass and water; weaker grazing conditions may reduce herd size or cattle health; fewer cattle then mean less material wealth and possibly lower standing. Option A correctly connects land, animals, wealth and prestige. Option B, increasing naval power, is unrelated to a land-based pastoral community. Option C, everyone becoming a forest official, does not follow from losing pasture. Option D is wrong because cattle did not become unimportant; their importance made the loss more serious. Exam cue: land loss can become herd loss, and herd loss can affect status.
