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

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

Explanation

The three-field system left only one-third of the land fallow at a time, while the other two-thirds grew crops. This increased the amount of food produced, making shortages and famine less likely. So the main advantage was that extra food reduced the chance of famine.
