The correct answer is letter D
In Japan a well-developed feudal regime flourished. It is really one of the glories of that nation to have intuited the principles of wisdom that presided over the foundations of medieval feudalism. To have intuited this in such a way that, comparing the Japanese medieval regime with the medieval regime in the West, there are similarities.
One of the characteristics inherent to the feudal regime is a certain patriarchal sense of the greatness of the feudal lord, as a father and as a protector of those who are his vassals. In the feudal conception - this must be horrifying to the ears of Catholic progressives - the terms father and sir are similar. The father is master of his children. You are the father of your vassals. You assume the full protection of your vassals and defend them against external enemies. Such defense of the vassals is up to the lord rather than the king.
It follows that some notes present in the feudal constructions of the Middle Ages are factors of security, solidity and stability. But, simultaneously, such notes reflect a certain height, a certain challenge, a certain boldness typical of a power that is continually at war. War often led to exaggeration, even against real power. This came to be greatly weakened in Japan, partly because of feudalism, just as it was, at some point in the Middle Ages, in France.
