C Correct answer
Explanation

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of livestock (sheep, cattle, goats) between mountain and valley pastures. Herders move animals to higher elevations in summer and lower valleys in winter, following available forage. Options A and D are too general - they don't capture the seasonal or bidirectional nature. Option B incorrectly refers to human migration for employment.
