Which is the most balanced impact of colonial rule on Maasai pastoralists?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their land and movement were restricted, but some groups adopted new livelihood options

Under colonial rule, much of the Maasai’s fertile grazing land was taken for settlers and protected areas. New boundaries also restricted their seasonal movement and pastoral life. However, some Maasai groups adapted to changing conditions by taking up cultivation, wage work, or other livelihood options. Therefore, option A is the most balanced answer; the other options wrongly present colonial rule as wholly beneficial or without effect. Exam tip: in a question asking for a balanced impact, consider both restriction and adaptation.
