Answer:

B. symbolized the weakness of the central government under the Articles of Confederation

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Shay's rebellion, A rebellion occurred in Western Massachusetts and Worcester as a form of protest to oppose tax legislations that were made by the government.

The effort to ended the Rebellion ran terribly because In Articles of Confederation, the central government didn't has the power to mobilize the military in the state. This created a lot of unnecessary damage from prolonged the destruction of the rebellion.
