Question

A. Manual labor became much more valuable
B. The region’s population declined by about 30 percent
C. Many people lost faith in God and the Roman Catholic Church
D. England and France engaged in a century-long military struggle

Answer 1

The factor unrelated to the Black Death contributing to the decline of medieval Europe is the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Other factors such as changes in labor value, population decline, and loss of faith in the Church were direct results of the plague. Option D is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

Among the provided options, the factor that cannot be attributed to the Black Death is D. England and France engaged in a century-long military struggle, known as the Hundred Years' War. The Black Death had a catastrophic impact on medieval Europe, but the protracted conflict between England and France was a separate factor contributing to the region's turmoil during the later medieval period. The decline of medieval Europe's population, changes in societal attitudes towards the Church, and the increased value of labor were direct consequences of the Black Death, which differed from the unrelated conflict of England and France.
