Why were cattle considered a measure of wealth in Maasai society?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because they were linked with food, exchange and social prestige

The direct answer is A: cattle measured wealth because they provided food, could be exchanged, and brought social prestige. To understand the idea, begin with property: wealth means useful resources that a family owns and can depend on. Step by step: cattle supplied milk and other food; a herd could grow through breeding; animals could be exchanged or used in transactions; and a large herd showed security and status. Thus cattle were productive property, not merely objects kept for display. A is correct because it combines livelihood, exchange and prestige. B is wrong because cattle were not kept only for games. C is wrong because they were not sea ships. D is wrong because cattle were closely related to livelihood, not completely unrelated to it. Exam cue: in Maasai history, count cattle as food, property and status together.
