Good Morning!

Your D option is incomplete and is the answer:

D. As cities in Europe grew, nobles realized they were losing their importance in society. The feudal system guaranteed that the nobles would remain at the top of the political and social pyramid.

The feudal system, far from defending individual rights or reducing Church power, was created to defend European lands from barbaric attacks, fragmenting and dividing military responsibilities of protection. hugs!
