Answer

gives the Supreme Court power to revise the Constitution.
B
is clearly outlined in the Constitution.

Explanation

An implied power is not written out directly in the Constitution, but is understood to follow from the powers it does grant. For example, Congress’s power to collect taxes supports the implied power to create a tax-collection agency. Therefore, the correct choice is “is suggested by the Constitution, but not specifically stated.”
