Hint: It was prevalent that in ancient times in India things mentioned above would happen very frequently and it was a common practice which was done by the Indians as they would do these traditions.

Complete answer:
The medieval period is the time which would lay between ancient time and modern time that is between the 6th Century to the 16th Century. At that time, it was very common that child marriage is taking place as it was thought that if one would get married at an early age has a chance to know each other better and it was thought that there is more chance that they will be attracted towards each other for a longer time with this as this helps them to let them know each other better. It was very common at that time that one man is having more than one wife as it was okay for them to marry more than one woman as it was practiced openly. Few widows got remarried and were controlled by their new husband however few widows never got married again and held the land which was owned by his husband thill her death and lived a life with independence.

SO, the correct option is D.

Note: In the medieval period all of these things took place and it was been accepted by society as child marriage earlier was not a crime as now it is treated as a crime and back then a man can have more than one wife and that was approved by the society.
