What is the most accurate analysis of the impact of grazing tax on pastoral economy?

Correct answer: It increased the cost of pastoralism and pressured the ability to maintain herds

Under colonial rule, pastoralists had to bear an additional payment for grazing their animals. This raised the overall cost of pastoralism, reduced earnings and savings, and made it harder to maintain large herds. Option B states the opposite effect: the tax did not increase grazing land or secure pastoral income. Exam tip: link colonial taxes with higher livelihood costs and reduced economic capacity.
