Which statement describes the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case?

The ruling was from McCulloch v. Maryland, in which the Supreme Court held that Congress has implied powers in addition to the powers explicitly listed in the Constitution. The Necessary and Proper Clause allows Congress to use reasonable means to carry out its expressed powers, including creating a national bank. Therefore, “Congress has implied powers” is correct; Congress is not limited only to laws directly named in the Constitution.
