Correct Answer: 2 and 3 only. Feudalism was applicable in the early and central Middle Ages; it structured the society with relationships by getting land in exchange for service or labour. It originates as a result of the decentralisation of empire. To answer such a question you have to see for all the three statements. Statement 1 which describes “A very strong centralised political authority and a very weak provincial or local political authority” is incorrect as in case of Feudalism, there appears to be a weak central authority as it applies to politically decentralised as monarch power is restricted of local lords, hence it applies to any state having a collection of deemed regions; this eliminates option A and D. Statement 2 which says “Emergence of administrative structure based on control and possession of land” and statement 3 which describes “Creation of lord-vassal relationship between the feudal lord and his overlord” are correct as vassal results when someone is pledging political commitment and gives certain services to lord which can be in the domain of military, political and financial and enjoys full control on land and take part in service of different monarch, thereby, framing a relationship among monarch and lord.
