The correct answer is A. A structure that defined a peasant’s relationship to the lord of the manor.
Explanation:
Manorialism or manorial system was an economic and social system in which the peasants in the Middle Ages in Europe were dependent not only on their land but also on their lord.
The lord had different kinds of rights over the manor that was a landed state, and at the same time the peasants were attached to it through the practice of serfdom. The Manorialism was the precursor of feudalism and it was convenient at that time because it allowed organizing the states of the aristocracy as well as the states of the clergy in Europe.
