Which of the following is a treatment of barbarian peoples by civilized societies in the period 600–1450 (C) E. that is similar to the treatment of barbarian peoples by civilized societies between 600 (B) (C) E. and 600 (C) E.?

(A) Barbarian peoples were converted to the religions of their host societies. (B) Barbarian peoples were utilized as soldiers in their host societies. (C) Barbarian peoples were uniformly relegated to a servile status through the laws of their host societies. (D) Barbarian peoples were often invited by their host societies to rule instead of the societies’ own ruling classes.Explanation: Eliminate (A), as religious uniformity was less important to societies before 600 (C) E. than afterwards. Choice (C) can also be eliminated, as the word uniformly is too strong for this choice to be valid. Eliminate (D); tribes in both periods seized control of their host societies (such as Rome and the Abbasid Caliphate), but in both instances, the tribes arguably seized control on their own accord.
