Explanation:

The passage says Dr. Sereno digs dinosaur bones and in 1997 he led a dig in Niger, with the Touareg tribe helping look for bones. Option A is incorrect as learning about the desert isn't the purpose. Option B is wrong because they weren't studying the Touareg people but using their help to find bones. Option D has no mention of Jobaria in the excerpt. So the correct reason is to look for dinosaur bones.

Answer:

C. to look for dinosaur bones
