Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, Congress established the Department of the Treasury (along with other early departments like Foreign Affairs, War). The Department of Defense was established later, Department of Education much later, and Department of the Interior was established in the 19th century. So the correct option is the Department of the Treasury.

Answer:

B. Department of the Treasury (assuming the options are labeled as A, B, C, D with A: Department of Defense, B: Department of the Treasury, C: Department of Education, D: Department of the Interior)
