Answer
A
list the powers of state governments.
B
identify the rights of the people.
C
clarify limits on the federal government.
D
protect unnamed rights of individuals.

Explanation

The Tenth Amendment says that powers not delegated to the federal government, and not prohibited to the states, are reserved to the states or the people. It therefore clarifies the limits of federal power. The protection of rights not specifically listed is the purpose of the Ninth Amendment, making D incorrect.
