Solution
The correct option is C King -> Duke -> Earl -> Baron Feudal lords were the noblemen who received lands from the king. These feudal lords had their own hierarchy. Some of the important feudal lords were the dukes, earls, barons, and knights. The dukes operated under the king; the earls under the dukes; and finally, the barons under the earls.
