a. vassals, lords, king, clergy, serfs
b. king, lords, clergy, vassals, serfs
c. king, lords, clergy, vassals, lords
d. lords, serfs, vassals, king, clergy

Explanation:

Feudal hierarchy places the king at the top as the supreme ruler. Below the king are lords (nobles who hold land from the king). The clergy (religious officials) held significant social status alongside lords in medieval feudal systems. Vassals were lower nobles who served lords in exchange for land, and serfs, who worked the land, were at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Answer:

B. king, lords, clergy, vassals, serfs
