What is one way the medieval daimyo tried to improve their realms, despite frequent wars?

A. Increasing the independence of the samurai

B. Encouraging the growth of peasant crafts

C. Passing laws regulating marriage and family

D. Allowing peasants to become samurai

The correct answer is

B. Encouraging the growth of peasant crafts

Samurai independence was not a good thing for them because the samurai could take the country rule from them in the form of a Shogun appearing. Peasants could already become samurai, they just needed to get the training which was done in schools. Peasant crafts meant development and wealth accumulation so they supported this.
