Which type of society was characterized by land ownership as the main source of power and by social, economic, and military obligations between lords and vassals?
Feudal Society
Feudal society was a social and political system, prominent in medieval Europe and parts of medieval India, in which land ownership was the primary source of power and wealth.
Under this system, lords granted land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for loyalty, military service, and labour, creating a hierarchical web of mutual social, economic, and military obligations.
Horticultural societies are based on small-scale plant cultivation, post-industrial societies are based on services and information, and pre-agricultural societies relied on hunting and gathering, none of which match the land-and-obligation structure described.
Therefore, the correct answer is Feudal Society.
