Answer

Correct option: A.
Because continuous grazing in small area deteriorated the quality of pasture.

The Maasai lost about $60$ percent of their pre$-$colonial lands. They were confined to an arid zone with uncertain rainfall and poor pastures. The loss of the finest grazing lands and water resources created pressure on the small area of land that the Maasai were confined within. Continuous grazing within a small area inevitably meant a deterioration of the quality of pastures. Fodder was always in short supply.
