Answer 1

Aside from not passing your variables to your blade views appropriately which other answers have pointed out, your trying to access features from a controller that does not have features set.
The controller below sets features and then makes use of it in the layouts.index blade file.
FeaturedController.php
public function index()
{
$features = Feature::get();
return view ('layouts.index')->with(['features' => $features]);
// or
// return view ('layouts.index', compact('features'));
}
While this controller sets products but then makes use of a blade file that extends another blade file that has a features variable in it. This is why your getting the error
ProductsController.php
public function index()
{
$products = Product::get();
return view ('products', compact('products'));
}
And to fix it you must pass the features variable along side products like so:
ProductsController.php
public function index()
{
$products = Product::get();
$features = Feature::get();
return view ('products')->with(['features' => $features, 'products' => $products]);
}
But if more than one blade file is going to extend this layouts.index file then this approach is not advisable, and situations like this is why Taylor Otwell introduced Blade Components. You can now move the features blade view and logic to a component that can wrap around any other file you want or be included.
The documentation is straight forward but if you want me to show you how to implement it to solve your dilemma then hit me up on the comment below.

Answer 2

as u r using data in layout u should use laravel view composer to share data to layout file ref link https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/views#view-composers
in your AppServiceProvider.php
inside boot() add this line
public function boot()
{
\View::composer('layouts.index', function ($view) { // here layout path u need to add
$features = Feature::get();
$view->with([
'features'=>$features,
]);
});
}
It share data based on specif view file like here layouts.index data is send to this view so if u not send data from controller it will get data from view composer

You can change your controller to this:
public function index()
{
$features = Feature::all();
return view ('layouts.index', compact('features'));
}
A your blade you should actually do #section instead:
#section('content')
#foreach($features as $f)
<li>
<div class="prodcut-price mt-auto">
<div class="font-size-15">LKR {{ $f->features_id }}.00</div>
</div>
</li>
#endforeach
