Answer 1

The correct option is C S1 and S2

In the west, most of the land was farmed by tenants. Some even owned land. Eastern and Central Europe were different, because there were huge estates of land which were mostly cultivated by serfs. These were peasants who were under the clutches of the landlords. They tilled the lands and could not escape.
