Solution

The statement that best describes the system described in this source is: "Feudalism is dependent on the vassal and lord upholding obligations of service to one another." This is because the text emphasizes the mutual obligations and responsibilities between a vassal and his lord, suggesting a reciprocal relationship. The lord is expected to act in a way that is harmless, safe, honorable, useful, easy, and possible towards his vassal, and the vassal is expected to do the same. If either party fails to uphold these obligations, they would be considered disloyal or guilty of bad faith.
