Why was the social effect of drought deep in Maasai society because cattle were wealth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When cattle died in drought, a family could lose wealth, food and social status

In Maasai society, cattle were an important source of wealth, food and social standing. During drought, lack of water and pasture weakened or killed cattle, reducing a family's assets, food supply and status in the community. Option C is the closest distractor, but cattle—not privately owned farmland—were especially central to Maasai wealth and prestige. Exam tip: mention both economic loss and loss of social status when explaining drought's effects.
