c)serfs worked for their lord’s protection, and enslaved persons had no protection
d)serfs were in europe, and enslaved persons were only in america.

Serfs worked for their lord’s protection, and enslaved persons had no protection.

I think that the correct option is C. )Serfs worked for their lord’s protection, and enslaved persons had no protection.

Serfs had no owners, instead they had masters. The serf wasn’t property but a type of tenant, so that he couldn’t be sold off. Medieval Serfs were peasants who worked his lord's land and paid him certain dues in return for the use of land, the possession of which was heritable. The dues were usually in the form of labor on the lord's land.

The slave can be sold, bought, gifted, willed to beneficiaries by the owner, inherited by the owner’s successors, assigned, thrown away, and even killed.
