Why can livestock be called 'living capital' in African pastoral life?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it gave food income exchange and prestige

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Livestock is called living capital because it is a useful, growing form of wealth rather than an inactive object. Cattle could provide milk and meat, bring income, be exchanged for goods, support social relations and signal status. A herd could reproduce and continue to support a family, although disease, drought and other risks could reduce it. Option A correctly lists food, income, exchange and prestige. Option B is wrong because livestock is not dead property. Option C is wrong because animals had many practical and social uses. Option D is wrong because animals did not collect tax; people or authorities imposed taxes. Remember: capital is wealth that supports life and exchange; living capital is wealth in living animals.
