Answer:
<em>(B) Significant increase in mortality due to the spread of epidemic diseases.</em>
Explanation:
During the 14th century, many parts of Europe and Asia were completely ravaged by an epidemic plague called The Black Death. It was a form of bubonic plague caused by rats infected by bacteria.
More than half of the population of Europe was killed due to his plague, which immediately creates a shortage of labor. Shortage of labor, including agricultural ones, immediately meant that the living ones would receive a higher wage, to the consternation of the landowners who pushes for legislation that would return the status quo to how it was prior to the Black Death. This enrages the peasants who worked for them; manifesting in several revolts from May to November 1380.
