[单项选择]On New Year’s Day, 50,000 inmates in Kenyan jails went without lunch. This was not some mass hunger strike to highlight poor living conditions.

A. to evaluate the living conditions of Kenyan pastoralists
B. to give suggestions on the support for the traditional pastoralism in Africa
C. to illustrate the difference between commercial ranching and pastoralism
