Answer:

A). A Landowner's

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage displays a contract titled 'A Sharecrop Contract' that was signed in 1882 between a sharecropper and a landowner. The contract expresses the terms and conditions on which the agreement is made. Since most of the terms made in the contract seem to favor the interest of the landowner as reflected from the clauses 'they must sow and plow.' This clearly suggests that the contract is written from the landowner's point of view as there is no regard for the interest or rights of the sharecropper. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
