I don't get WHY A is correct. I also think C is correct!
In those days, "countries" as we know them were simply loosely organized groups of noblemen (and their knights, etc.) who banded together to fend off others who would take over their territories. Even as late as the 1860s, Germany was not one country.

What did the system of feudalism include?
a lord (maybe a baron or duke or someone with a similar title)
his knights and others who formed his army or fighting force
the people who supported the lord's household and army -- farmers, merchants, serfs, et al.
Without that economic/political/social system, the lord wouldn't have been able to succeed in his goals of protecting his territory.
