The statement that best analyzes how societies, leaders, institutions, and organizations met societal needs during feudal times is:

"Feudalism was centered around a system of loyalty and obligation to create order."

This response accurately reflects the nature of feudalism, where hierarchical relationships defined by loyalty, service, and obligation among lords, vassals, and serfs were fundamental for maintaining social order and stability during a time characterized by a lack of centralized authority and frequent conflict.
