Explanation:
• In the medieval period, the land granted by a lord to a vassal (a feudal lord) was called a fief.

• This land was not owned outright by the vassal but was granted to him as long as he fulfilled his obligations to the lord.

AB 
• "AB" is not a relevant option in the context of medieval feudal land.
