Why might pastoralists have to travel longer distances to find water and fodder for animals?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because local pastures and forest access declined

Pastoral animals need regular access to water and suitable fodder. If nearby grazing grounds are enclosed, cultivated, declared restricted forest, or otherwise made unavailable, the resources close to a camp become insufficient. Herders then have to spend more time and effort moving their animals to distant grasslands or water sources. Longer journeys can also increase physical strain, costs, and risks, so loss of access affects both animals and the household supporting them.

Option A gives the direct cause: a decline in local pastures and forest access creates a resource shortage. The other choices are either impossible or contradict basic animal needs. Villages do not become seas, animals do drink water, and filling roads with flowers would not explain the loss of grazing resources. Therefore option A follows because reduced nearby access forces pastoralists to travel farther for essential supplies.
