The correct answer is B. establishing the Bank of the United States.
Explanation: Implied powers of Congress are not explicitly stated in the Constitution but are necessary for executing its enumerated powers. The establishment of a national bank was justified under the necessary and proper clause (Article I, Section 8) to help manage finances and support commerce, even though the Constitution does not explicitly mention a national bank.
