All of the options provided are potential reasons for the Bantu migrations, but the most commonly recognized reasons include:

  1. To follow herds of migrating animals – This reflects their pastoral lifestyle.
  2. Depletion of resources – As populations grew, the need for more land and resources led to migration.
  3. Trade – The Bantu also engaged in trade and migration can be linked to expanding trade networks.

However, if you are looking for one specific reason presented in a quiz format, "depletion of resources" is often highlighted as a primary driver.

If you can only choose one answer, "depletion of resources" would be a strong choice.
