c. providing labor and a large percentage of the crop
d. agreeing to work without pay for five to seven years

Providing labor and a large percentage of the crop is the statement which best describes how sharecroppers paid the owners of the land they worked

Explanation:

In sharecropping the sharecroppers provides labor and a large percentage of the crop to the landowners in exchange of the use of their (owners) land. It is a form of agriculture in which the land owners gives their land to the croppers on an agreement through which the farmers can use their land but in exchange of that the farmers will give them a portion of crop which cultivated on their land.

In this type of farming, the land owners get free labor and free crops in return of using their land.
