The correct response is **increased social mobility**.
After the bubonic plague, which significantly reduced the population, labor became more valuable due to the shortage of workers. This allowed surviving peasants and laborers to demand better wages and conditions, leading to increased social mobility as they had more opportunities to improve their status and negotiate terms with landowners. The traditional feudal system began to weaken as a result, shifting the balance of power somewhat toward the lower classes.
