D All of the AboveAll

Answer 1

D. All of the Above.

Briefly: under the Articles Congress could not levy taxes, had no single executive, and could not reliably maintain a national military. The Constitution fixed these by granting Congress power to tax (Art. I, §8 & §1), creating the President to lead the executive (Art. II), and authorizing a standing national military under civilian control (President as Commander in Chief, Art. II, with Congressional powers over funding and war).
