The most accurate evaluation of the impact of feudalism after the fall of Western Rome from the provided options is:

Feudalism was an effective protective measure against Germanic tribes.

Feudalism arose as a social and economic system in Medieval Europe partly in response to the instability and invasions, including those from Germanic tribes.
