Which basic pastoral strategy was weakened by confining the Maasai to reserves?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Flexible movement according to season and pasture

The direct answer is A: confining the Maasai to reserves weakened their flexible movement according to seasons and pasture. Pastoralism depends on moving animals to find grass and water when local supplies change. The reasoning is: rainfall and pasture are not constant; herders traditionally adjust routes and timing; this movement helps animals survive and reduces pressure on one place; a reserve restricts the area and routes available; therefore seasonal mobility becomes difficult. Option A is correct because it names the basic pastoral strategy directly. Option B is wrong because sea-route trade is not the central strategy being discussed. Option C is wrong because permanent factory labour is a different livelihood and does not describe pastoral movement. Option D is wrong because mining is unrelated to the seasonal search for grazing. Restrictions could also create wider economic and social problems, but the question asks specifically about the basic strategy weakened. Do not confuse mobility with aimless wandering: it is planned movement based on pasture, water, seasons, and herd needs. Memory cue: pastoralism needs movement; reserves restrict movement.
