What was one significant indication that the European feudal system was effective?

A significant indication that European feudalism was effective is that similar systems developed independently in China and Japan. This suggests that feudal arrangements could help organize society and provide local order under conditions found in different regions. The other choices do not show that feudalism worked: peasants did not vote to preserve it, Europe still faced invasions, and feudalism did not bring about the end of the Roman Empire.
