Why can pastoralism in Africa be called environmental adaptation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because pastoralists moved according to rainfall, grass and water

Direct answer: Option A is correct. Environmental adaptation means changing one’s way of living according to the surrounding environment. In African pastoralism, rainfall changed from place to place and season to season. Because rain affected grass and water, pastoralists moved their animals toward areas where these resources were available. This was not random travel; it was a practical survival strategy suited to dry and variable environments. Option A correctly describes movement according to rainfall, grass and water. Option B is wrong because ignoring seasons would make it harder to find food and water. Option C is wrong because pastoralists depended mainly on livestock and grazing lands, not on living only in factories. Option D is wrong because pastoralism by definition involves keeping animals; saying they had no animals contradicts the concept. The exact reasoning is: environment changes, resources change, herds need resources, and people adjust their movement. This adjustment is called adaptation. It does not mean controlling nature or making weather change. Memory cue: adaptation means “fit life to place and season.”
