Which of the following is an example of a concurrent power in the United States?

Declaring war.
Printing money.
Regulating interstate commerce.
Establishing courts.

The correct answer is: Regulating interstate commerce.

Concurrent powers are those that are shared by both the federal government and state governments in the United States. These powers are explicitly stated and defined in the U.S. Constitution. In this context, declaring war (A) and printing money (B) are powers that are only granted to the federal government, making them incorrect choices. Establishing courts (D) is a power that is granted exclusively to the federal government, therefore it is also incorrect. Regulating interstate commerce (C) is a power that is shared by both the federal government and state governments, making it the correct answer. This power allows for the regulation of trade and commerce between states, ensuring a fair and consistent economy across the country.
