Which combination in colonial policy pushed pastoralists towards cultivation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Costly grazing, declining pastures and disrupted routes

The direct answer is A. Pastoralists were pushed towards cultivation when the conditions supporting mobile herding became difficult. Higher or costly grazing charges increased expenses; shrinking pastures reduced available fodder; and blocked or disrupted routes prevented seasonal movement between grazing areas. Together these pressures made pastoralism less secure, so some families took up cultivation, wage labour, or other livelihoods where possible. Option A is correct because it gives the three connected pressures. B is wrong because free grazing, open forests, and more animals would support pastoralism, not push people away from it. C is wrong because tax-free livestock and unlimited fodder reduce pressure. D is wrong because free routes also support mobility. Exam cue: when pasture, price, and passage worsen, livelihood changes.
