The correct answer is "2 and 3 only."

In the context of Indian history, the essential elementary elements of the feudal system are:

2. Emergence of administrative structure based on control and possession of land: Feudalism is characterized by a social and political structure where power and authority are based on control and possession of land. The feudal lords, also known as vassals, held land granted to them by higher-ranking lords or the monarch, and this land ownership formed the basis of their power.

3. Creation of lord-vassal relationship between the feudal lord and his overlord: Feudalism involves a hierarchical relationship known as the lord-vassal relationship. Feudal lords, or vassals, swore loyalty and provided military service to their higher-ranking lords or overlord in exchange for protection and land grants.
