Frances Mcintyre · Answer 1

E. depended on the enslaved labor of helots

Explanation:

In a sense, the helots were state slaves, tied to the land and delegated to individual Spartans and for them to till the holdings; the overlords can neither release them nor sell them, the helots had such a small right to amass property, after having to pay a fixed percentage of the holding's yield to their masters.
