Answer:

B) The number of years the person worked for his or her master.

Step-by-step explanation:

Indentured servitude was a system of unfree labor by which an employee is bound by a signed or forced contract to work for a particular employer for a fixed time.

Indentured servants usually entered into that labor for a specific payment or other benefits. When the contract finished the servants were given their freedom, and occasionally plots of land.

I hope this answer helps you.
