The correct answer is e. It was asociated with servility and the loss of liberty.

Explanation:

The black plague that ravaged England from 1348 to 1350 had greatly reduced the labor force and, consequently, surviving workers could demand better wages and / or fewer hours of work. They also requested freedom of movement. They often got what they asked for: the lords of the fief were desperate for people to cultivate their land and take care of their animals.
