Answer
A
an implied power of Congress.
B
an express power of Congress.
C
a revenue-raising power of Congress.
D
a regulatory power of Congress.

Explanation

The Constitution does not specifically name the power to establish a national bank. Congress has used its express powers, including taxing, borrowing, and regulating commerce, to justify creating one as a means of carrying out its constitutional responsibilities under the Necessary and Proper Clause. Thus, establishing a national bank is classified as an implied power of Congress.
