The correct answer is:

**c** The economic system in Feudal Europe was one based on an agrarian model, where land generated most if not all of the wealth.

In feudal societies, land was the primary source of wealth and power. It was essential for agriculture, which was the foundation of the economy, and it allowed lords to generate income and support their vassals and armies through agricultural production. Thus, granting land in exchange for military service was a central aspect of the feudal system.
