What is the best example of 'unequal impact' in the context of Maasai pastoralists?

Correct answer: Wealthy families could survive through trade or more livestock while the poor weakened quickly

The direct answer is A: wealthy families could use trade or more livestock to survive, while poor families weakened more quickly. Unequal impact means the same drought, land loss or restriction does not harm every family equally. First, families with more animals may have milk, products or animals to sell. Second, families with money or trade connections may find another income source. Poor families usually have fewer animals, less savings and fewer alternatives, so one bad season can damage food and income quickly. Option A gives this clear class-based comparison. B is wrong because crisis effects are not exactly equal when resources differ. C is wrong because poor families can also face drought, often more severely. D is wrong because livestock number strongly influences wealth, food and recovery. Memory cue: unequal resources produce unequal effects.
