b coining money maintaining a national bank
c drafting americans into the military maintaining the armed forces
d declaring war passing a federal budget

A. Regulating the sale of commodities like alcohol outlawing the sale of some drugs like marijuana is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Enumerated powers are granted to congress by the US constitution for ensuring that the federal government shouldn't become oppressive, the enumerated powers are mentioned in Article 1 of Section 8 of the constitution. An implied power is the power that congress exercises although it is not expressly granted to it under Article 1 of Section 8 of the constitution. It comes from the elastic clause, which grants Congress the power to pass laws that are necessary and proper for exercising its enumerated powers.
