Explanation:

The question asks for the clearest reason the group refuses to sell their lands. The third option directly states the lands are essential: they produce food for their families and feed their livestock, which is a concrete, practical reason for not selling. The other options either express confusion about the offer, reference an unfair past sale (incomplete), or restate the refusal without explaining why.

Answer:

○ "They are fruitful and produce us corn in abundance for the support of our women and children and grass herbs for our cattle."
