Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf B. \ Gave \ too \ little \ power \ to \ a \ central \ government}}[/tex]

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the United States of America's first Constitution or plan for government. The founders were worried about a strong or tyrannical government, after fighting a war against one. Obviously they are no longer used, mainly because they were incredibly weak.

Let's analyze each answer choice.

A. Gave too much power to a central government

  • This is false. The federal government had little power, while the state governments were more powerful.

B. Gave too little power to a central government

  • This is true. The government had no power to tax, regulate commerce, create an army, and more.  

C. Allowed the federal government to collect taxes

  • This is false. The government didn't have this power.

D. Did not allow the federal government to conduct foreign affairs

  • This is false. One of the few powers the government had was dealing with other nations.

The best answer is choice B.
