What was the basis of social difference between the aristocracy and peasantry in old Europe?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Land, privilege and social status
In old Europe, aristocrats generally possessed large estates, inherited titles and legal or social privileges. Peasants formed the majority of the population and worked the land, but usually had fewer rights, less political power and lower social status. Therefore option A identifies the main basis of their difference. Options B, C and D wrongly assume equality in rights, wealth, education or representation, which did not describe this hierarchical society.
