Answer 1

The shift in Europe from very labor-intensive grain farming to the raising of cattle and sheep was most likely a result of D. the Black Death.

The Black Death, which swept through Europe in the 14th century, caused a significant reduction in the population. This labor shortage led to changes in agricultural practices, as landowners sought more profitable and less labor-intensive forms of farming, such as raising livestock, which required fewer workers compared to grain farming.
