The correct response is: Peasants needed protection and land, which the lords provided.

Feudal monarchs and lords were able to exert power and control over peasants primarily because the peasants relied on them for essential resources such as land to work and protection from external threats. This relationship created a dependency that allowed lords to maintain control and enforce obligations, such as labor and taxes, from the peasants.
