Answer 1

The option that best describes the role the warrior classes played in medieval Japan's economy is:

**C. Warriors served the shogun throughout the country which meant they purchased goods throughout Japan.**

This option highlights the economic role of the warrior class (samurai) who, while primarily focused on military duties and service to their lords (daimyos and shoguns), also engaged in economic activities, such as buying goods and maintaining local economies in the regions they controlled.
