Answer 1

B — the power to tax.

Explanation: Enumerated powers are those explicitly listed in the Constitution (Article I, Section 8). The power to tax is specifically granted to Congress. Establishing local governments and teacher-licensing are state powers; issuing visas relates to immigration/naturalization policy but "power to tax" is the clear enumerated example.
