Why could decline in livestock weaken family security in Maasai society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because livestock was a source of food, exchange and support during crisis

In Maasai pastoral society, livestock was a major form of family wealth and security. Cattle provided milk and other useful products, and could be sold or exchanged for grain and essential goods. During drought, illness, or food shortage, livestock acted as a reserve; therefore, a decline in animals weakened both economic and food security. Option C is incorrect because the Maasai were primarily pastoralists, not dependent only on settled farming. Exam tip: remember livestock as movable wealth and a safety reserve in pastoral communities.
