The correct option is D Overseeing community affairs
Before British rule in Africa, the Maasai community was divided into two social groups known as Maasai elders and Maasai warriors. The Maasai elders formed the ruling group and met periodically in councils to manage the affairs of the community and to settle disputes. The Maasai warriors, on the other hand, consisted of young Maasais. They were responsible for the protection of the tribe and organised cattle raids.
