Explanation:

Manorialism was a feudal - based economic system where peasants and craftsmen were tied to the land and their lords. After the Commercial Revolution, economic opportunities expanded, and there was more economic freedom. Under manorialism, farmers and craftsmen had limited economic choices as they were bound by feudal obligations. In contrast, after the Commercial Revolution, there were more trading opportunities, and people could engage in various economic activities with more autonomy.

Answer:

B. Manorialism offered farmers and craftsmen less economic freedom than they experienced after the Commercial Revolution.
