Answer

The answer is **d. implied**.The "necessary and proper clause" (also known as the elastic clause) grants Congress the power to make all laws which shall be "necessary and proper" for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by the Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof. This allows Congress to have powers that are not explicitly listed (enumerated) in the Constitution, but are *implied* by the need to carry out its enumerated powers.
