The correct answer is B. Ranchers often bought land adjacent to their own to secure more grazing space for their cattle, rather than resorting to illegal and destructive actions such as cutting farmers' barbed-wire fences. Appealing to Congress may have been a strategy as well, but purchasing additional land was a more practical solution for many ranchers. Moving to the East would not have solved the problem of decreased grazing land in the West.
