Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Cattle first arrived in the islands in 1793 when Captain James Vancouver presented King Kamehameha l with six cows and a bull. In order to encourage the herd's growth, Kamehameha placed a kapu, a prohibition, on them so that they could not be hunted or killed.
