Question

Which of the following best reflects the effect of the Black Death on the socio-economic structures of feudal Europe?

The Black Death fell more heavily on rural laborers than on urban craftspeople, encouraging people to abandon large tracts of farmland.
Farm laborers acquired more power to negotiate labor terms, forcing rural lords to adjust labor practices to avoid shortages of labor and food.
Farming became a more economically important activity due to increasing demand for food, resulting in harsh labor restrictions by rural lords.
European monarchs became more involved in the day-to-day administration of the lands in their kingdoms to encourage healthy labor practices.

Answer 1

Answer is B.) Farm laborers acquired more power to negotiate labor terms, forcing rural lords to adjust labor practices to avoid shortages of labor and food.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be your hint. "We, considering the grave inconveniences which might come from the lack especially of ploughmen and such labourers, have held deliberation and treaty concerning this with the prelates and nobles and other learned men sitting by us; by whose consentient counsel we have seen fit to ordain". This talked about the effect of the economic structures of feudal Europe. It said that the labourers forced rural lords to adjust labor practices after they negotiate labor terms because it had to do with the concern of the treaty with the prelates and nobles imposed which makes B the correct answer.
