Option A.

Explanation:

Expressed powers, is the right answer.

Article I of the United States' Constitution lists 27 expressed powers of Congress. This article provides the legislative branch with a great amount of power over the national policy of America, including domestic and foreign.

The most influential authorities incorporate the ability to tax, to regulate currency and commerce, to borrow money, to raise armies and maintain the navy and to declare war. Such powers grant Congress the power to set an order on the fundamental interests of war and peace.
