Which correctly identifies the connection between peasants and serfs?

Peasants were people who worked the land, and serfs were a group of peasants legally bound to a lord’s land. Thus, most serfs were peasants, and many peasants were serfs. Serfs did not rank above peasants or have more freedom; they generally had fewer rights than free peasants. The correct choice is “Most peasants were also serfs.”
