The most accurate illustration of the Japanese feudal system between 1000 and 1600 would be option B.

In the Japanese feudal system:

  1. The Shogun was at the top of the hierarchy as the military leader and ultimate authority.
  2. The Daimyo were the powerful vassals and landowners who served under the Shogun.
  3. The Peasants were at the bottom of the hierarchy, working the land and providing resources.

Option B correctly places the Shogun at the top, followed by the Daimyo in the middle, and Peasants at the bottom.
