How did the social hierarchy of feudalism limit freedoms for women?

Female serfs had fewer personal freedoms because they were bound to the lord’s land and authority. A lord could control or approve their marriages, limiting whom they could marry; this makes “Female serfs had to marry someone the lord chose” the best answer. Women could participate in church life, and although they could not become priests, that restriction was not specifically a result of the feudal social hierarchy.
