Peasants on a typical medieval manor lacked incentives to use new farming methods to produce a surplus of crops because??

Athe Catholic Church discouraged the development of new techniques
Bthe absence of urban markets discouraged the production of a surplus
Cthe soil and climate of Western Europe discouraged the introduction of new methods
Dpeasants would have been forced to give all surpluses to the lord of the manor

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is B) the absence of urban markets discouraged the production of a surplus. This was because urban markets did not exist at the time or were very rare and cities had not yet boomed. Many people lived in rural areas or very small towns, where one person would be specified in tools, but there was not much selection and not many available.
