The correct answer is B) women often risked losing their husband property if he were to die.

This excerpt from the Magna Carta indicates that the status of women in medieval English society was difficult because women often risked losing their husband property if he were to die.

In those years of medieval English time, women played simple roles of wife, mother, and peasants, although a few were counselors of the queen. Most of the women worked as peasants to help the man and raised children. Some women became nuns to serve God. But according to Magna Carta, as seen in the excerpt, women often risked losing their husband property if he were to die.
