Which excerpt from "The Beginnings of the Maasai” is the best example of a feature found in myths?

My job is important, so I work hard to do it well, even though the cattle can sometimes be troublesome.
You see, soon after I was born, a massive volcano erupted right in the middle of the cattle plains.
When we have rituals or community celebrations, I have to bring the cattle, because their presence is essential.
One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground.

The excerpt that best exemplifies a feature found in myths is:

"One by one, Enkai sent the cattle walking down branches of the fig tree, all the way down to the roots at the ground."

This excerpt illustrates a mythological element by featuring a divine character (Enkai) and a fantastical event (cattle walking down branches of a fig tree), which are common traits in myths that often explain the origins of peoples, traditions, and the natural world.
