Answer:

A. Expressed powers of the federal government

Step-by-step explanation:

The "Expressed Powers" of the government are those that are specifically granted to the U.S. Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution. There's a total of 27 expressed powers, in which are included the government's power to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States."
