the answer I think is that they received land as payment because the daimyo's didn't have to pay taxes and had a private army of samurais that attacked other daimyos to gain extra land that's why there were many different more powerful families.

"C recieved land in payment for their service" would be the correct answer. The Samurai did not work for land, however the Knights did.
