Answer:

B) The use of the implied powers was upheld.

The use of the implied powers was upheld. Congress used its implied powers to establish a national bank and the Supreme Court upheld the use of those powers. This is directly related to the "Necessary and Proper Clause" (a.k.a. "The Elastic Clause") found in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution.
