Hey there! I'm happy to help!
When The Articles of Confederation were created, people were terrified of the central government, so people wanted to make the government very small and give the states more power. Therefore, answers A and C does describe the articles of confederation.
During 1777, the British had taken over the US capital of Philadelphia, so the temporary capital was York, Pennsylvania, the Continental Congress decided to set up their government with the Articles of Confederation as the central document. Maryland finally ratified in 1781, making it the law. Therefore, they took four years to be adopted. Answer D does describe the articles.
Therefore, the correct option is B. The articles created states that were dependent on each other. If the states were given lots of power from the articles they won't be depending on other states.
Have a wonderful day! :D
