Why did drought become an economic crisis for pastoralists beyond being a natural event?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Lack of fodder and water weakened or killed livestock, reducing income and wealth

Pastoralists depended on livestock for their livelihood through milk, wool, and the sale of animals. During drought, fodder and water became scarce, so animals weakened, died, or produced less milk and wool. This reduced both the value of their livestock and household income. Option B is incorrect because drought reduces grass and fodder rather than increasing them. Exam tip: write the chain as ‘fodder shortage → livestock loss → loss of income’.
