Solution
The correct option is B George King Phillipe would gift George land in return for his services as opposed to giving Hans. Hans might receive riches, but not land. In the feudal system that existed before the Renaissance, the king had control over the land. He allotted land to the nobles for their contributions and military services. The nobles had peasants who worked in these lands. They gave their produce to the nobles in exchange for protection. The amount of land controlled by a person decided his social status. However, that changed during the Renaissance period.
