What was a main advantage of the three-field system?

Answer
A
New types of crops could be grown.
B
Crops matured at different times.
C
Multiple harvests became commonplace.
D
Extra food reduced the chance of famine.

Explanation

The three-field system divided farmland into three parts: one for a spring crop, one for a fall crop, and one left fallow. Planting more of the land each year produced more food, creating a surplus that helped communities withstand poor harvests and reduce the risk of famine. Therefore, the main advantage was that extra food reduced the chance of famine.
