A) Roosevelt did not want the United States to fall behind in military strength

Explanation:

As they already knew Germany and USSR were experimenting already with nuclear technology and trying to make new more powerful weapons and bombs, in this case Roosevelt authorized Einstens $6000 to fund experiments to create nuclear chain reactions that would create an atomic bomb that would allow the american army to win the war, and whoever managed to create it first would have the upperhand on winning the war.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.
