What is the correct meaning of the statement 'livestock is wealth' in the study of African pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Livestock was a source of food, income, social status and security

For African pastoral communities, livestock was not merely something to sell for cash. Animals provided milk, meat and sometimes income; herd size was also linked with family status, marriage relations and security during difficult times. Therefore, option A is correct. Option C is incorrect because livestock was central to both household livelihood and social identity. Exam tip: in pastoral societies, ‘wealth’ includes useful animal resources, not just money.
