Yes, it is B. Read the link I gave you about the Second Continental Congress drafting the Articles. The final draft, as ratified, also included D. The Congress, under the Articles, could not levy taxes. It's powers were strictly limited.
If you're sure, why is there a question mark there?
Do read the Articles and the history of them. The object is for you to understand the history, not just get the right answer on your quiz.
Oops that was supposed to be a period.
