Answer 1

The statement that best describes the social hierarchy in medieval Japan is:

Social classes are relatively static.

In medieval Japan, particularly during the feudal period, social classes were largely determined by birth, and there was limited mobility between classes. The four main classes were the samurai, farmers, artisans, and merchants, with the samurai at the top. This structure reinforced the idea of a rigid social hierarchy.
