问题     Madagascar’s Mahafale cattle raisers have incorporated the prickly pear cactus into their pastoral economy, which depends on assisting their cattle through the dry season, when grass and water are scarce. Rather than relying on nomadism in the pursuit of water and pasture for their livestock, they have turned to cactus to keep stock alive. This has influenced the cattle raisers’ way of life, particularly in terms of diet and mobility. Women harvest cactus for their families to eat. Male herders work cactus as a vegetable crop for cattle. For these benefits, pastoralists sow, prune, and shape prickly pear into living fences around their corrals. In doing so, these herders have become cactus cultivators, which has reduced their mobility.
Which of the following is mentioned in the passage as an affect of cactus cultivation on the Mahafale’s pastoralist way of life?

选项 A、The Mahafale no longer need to help their cattle survive during the dry season.
B、The Mahafale have abandoned their pastoralist way of life.
C、The mobility of the Mahafale has been diminished.
