The correct response is All of the above. Each of these factors contributed to the decline of feudalism in Europe. The Black Death significantly reduced the population, leading to a labor shortage and increased labor demands for higher wages. The rise of nation-states centralized power and weakened local feudal lords. The Crusades also stimulated trade and the movement of people, which further diminished the feudal structure.
