To draw conclusions about feudalism in Japan and Europe based on the information provided in a hypothetical table, we can analyze the options:
A. The systems in both places valued people who produced food. - This is likely true, as both feudal systems relied heavily on agricultural production and the labor of peasants or serfs who worked the land.
B. Trade was a necessary part of the economy in both systems. - While trade did occur in both Europe and Japan, the feudal systems themselves were primarily agrarian, so this statement might not fully represent the economies of both systems during the height of feudalism.
C. The systems in both places had similar political structures. - While there are similarities in terms of hierarchy (lords, vassals, etc.), the specific political structures and practices differed considerably between feudal Japan and Europe.
D. Warfare to gain land was discouraged in both systems. - This statement is generally false, as warfare was a common element in both feudal systems, often used by lords to gain or defend land.
Based on the analysis, the best conclusion that can be drawn is A. The systems in both places valued people who produced food.
