Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Open-range ranching involved the grazing of cattle on public land, which was not owned by the ranchers. This allowed them to access large areas of land without having to purchase it themselves. The other choices (A, B, and C) were not necessarily specific to open-range ranching and could occur in other types of ranching operations.
