The correct response regarding the impact of the bubonic plague on labor and the role of peasants is **increased social mobility**.
Before the plague, feudalism was characterized by a rigid social hierarchy with limited opportunities for peasants to move up the social ladder. However, after the bubonic plague, which decimated the population and led to a labor shortage, many peasants found themselves in a position to demand better wages and conditions. This shift allowed for greater social mobility as some peasants were able to negotiate better terms, move to different areas, or even acquire land, significantly altering the dynamics of feudalism.
