Why did pastoralists sometimes take up labour or trade?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because pressure on pastures and pastoralism increased

Pastoralism depends on access to grazing land, water, animals, and routes for seasonal movement. Colonial policies often restricted forests, reduced common grazing areas, imposed taxes, or required permits. These changes made the older pastoral way of life more difficult and uncertain. Families could therefore need another source of income to meet household needs.

Some pastoralists responded by taking wage work, trading animals or goods, or combining herding with cultivation. Option A correctly links this change with growing pressure on pastures and pastoralism. The other choices reverse the historical situation: pastoral life did not become universally easier, forests were not all opened, and people still needed income. Livelihoods changed as access and opportunities changed.
