Question 9 • W Geography_B_IC

Which of the following statements about the San Bushmen is true?

Answer
A
They are known as the "blue people" for their indigo-colored clothing that stains their skin.
B
They practice their own blend of Islam and traditional African religions.
C
They live in family groups and do not have an official "chief," or leader.
D
They are a seminomadic people who live on the East African plains.

Explanation

The San Bushmen traditionally live in small family groups and generally do not have a formal chief or central leader. The “blue people” description in A refers to a different group, while D describes pastoral peoples of East Africa rather than the San. Therefore, the true statement is that they live in family groups without an official chief.
