The correct response is **improved agricultural technology**.
During the Middle Ages, advancements in agricultural methods, such as the climate improvement, the three-field system, and the use of crop rotation, led to increased food production. This, in turn, supported a larger population. While the other options had significant impacts on society, they did not directly contribute to population growth in the same way that improved agricultural technology did.
