Answer 1

C. regulate interstate and foreign credit

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) regulate interstate and foreign credit.

Commerce power gave Congress the right to regulate interstate and foreign credit.

We are referring to the Commerce Clause that can be found in the United States Constitution that allows the United States Congress the power to regulate commerce with other countries, between the states, and with the Native American Indian tribes. Specifically, you can find the Commerce Clause in Article 1 of the Constitution, Section 8, Clause 3.
