Why could not reaching distant pastures become a life-and-death issue for Maasai families during drought?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because livestock could not survive without fodder and water

Pastoral families depend on animals for food, income, transport, and security. During drought, nearby grass and water may disappear, so herders need to move towards distant pastures. If a boundary, rule, or lack of access prevents that movement, animals become weak, produce less milk, and may die. The loss of livestock can then threaten the family’s food and livelihood, making pasture access a matter of survival.

Option A is correct because livestock cannot remain healthy without sufficient fodder and water. Options B, C, and D are false: cattle do not graze in the sea, drought reduces rather than increases available food, and boundaries generally restrict useful movement instead of strengthening animals. Thus, mobility was essential during environmental stress.
