False.
The Necessary and Proper Clause (Art. I, §8, cl. 18) does not itself create expressed (enumerated) powers. Instead it authorizes Congress to enact laws needed to carry out the Constitution’s expressly listed powers, thereby supporting implied powers. See McCulloch v. Maryland (1819) (upholding a national bank as an implied power).
