Explanation:

Shays' Rebellion was suppressed by the Massachusetts state militia. The rebellion was a protest by debt - ridden farmers. The Congress of the Confederation (Option D) had no real power to summon an army effectively as the Articles of Confederation gave very limited powers to the central government. The Continental Army under George Washington (Option C) was disbanded after the Revolutionary War. The British army under Lord Cornwallis (Option B) was a force during the Revolutionary War, not involved in suppressing Shays' Rebellion.

Answer:

A. the Massachusetts state militia
