Explanation
S1 defines feudalism as a system of agricultural production; Q specifies its basis — the relationship between lords and peasants, who worked the lord's land. P elaborates on "the latter" (the peasants), who tilled both their own and the lord's land; S adds their other labour in exchange for military protection, and R adds the lords' judicial control over the peasants — the widening beyond economics that S6 describes. Q-P-S-R, option A, follows.
