Answer 1

The option that most contributed to the development of the manor system in Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire is **lack of a central authority and infrastructure**. After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the absence of strong centralized governance and infrastructure led to localized forms of governance and the need for self-sufficiency, which were key characteristics of the manor system.
