Which relation between the influence and number of the aristocracy is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They were small in number but high in influence
Aristocrats were a relatively small section of European society, but their influence was substantial because they controlled large estates, inherited wealth, high offices and important social networks. Thus numerical minority did not mean political or economic insignificance. Option B expresses this contrast correctly. A reverses the relationship, C ignores their power, and D wrongly identifies them as urban labourers rather than a landed elite.
