In the federal system of government in the United States, the federal government retains certain powers known as enumerated powers. These are specifically outlined in the Constitution, particularly in Article I, Section 8.
Concurrent powers are shared by both the federal and state governments, such as the power to tax.
Reserved powers are those that are not specifically granted to the federal government by the Constitution and are reserved for the states, as outlined in the Tenth Amendment.
Executive powers refer to the powers of the executive branch, primarily vested in the President, but this term does not specifically refer to powers kept by the federal government in the same way that enumerated powers do.
So the correct response is enumerated powers.
