Question

1. who benefited least from a sharecropping arrangement?○ land owners○ share-tenants○ seed suppliers○ sharecroppers

Explanation:

In sharecropping, sharecroppers (who work the land) typically receive only a portion of the harvest, often after covering costs, and face high levels of debt and economic instability. Land owners gain from the labor without working, share-tenants have more stable terms than sharecroppers, and seed suppliers profit from sales to the system. Sharecroppers benefit the least.
