C. The central government established under the Articles of Confederation had no power to collect taxes

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation were the first American Constitution, it was written with the constant fear of creating a strong central government, and this is the main reason why the Articles gave more power to the states and less power to the Congress.

Under the Articles, where was no Executive Branch, the Central government consisted of Congress and it had just a few powers, such as declare war, appoint military officers, sign treaties, make alliances, appoint foreign ambassadors and manage relations with Indians. The problem was that the Congress did not have the power to tax, so to raise money the Congress had to ask the states for funds or borrow from foreign governments, which was a danger for America’s sovereignty.
