Correct answers: 1 and 3.
Explanation: Under feudalism many peasants (serfs) were legally bound to the lord’s land, had to give a large share of produce and pay rents/fees, and could not freely profit from or sell their holdings. They also owed long days of hard labor on the lord’s demesne. They were the lowest social group, not the second-lowest, and living on a manor usually meant they benefited from the lord’s protection rather than being at greater risk of attack.
