The correct response is:

D Shay's Rebellion revealed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.

Shay's Rebellion, which took place in the late 1780s, was a significant event that illustrated the inability of the national government under the Articles of Confederation to maintain order and manage economic distress. This uprising highlighted the need for a stronger federal government and contributed to the eventual drafting and adoption of the U.S. Constitution.
