Which of the following is an example of a delegated power of the federal government in the United States?

Regulating education.
Establishing local governments.
Printing money.
Conducting elections.

The correct answer is: Printing money.

An example of a delegated power of the federal government in the United States is printing money. This refers to the power given to the federal government by the Constitution to control and create the country's currency and regulate its value. The other options are examples of reserved powers, which are powers granted to the state government rather than the federal government. For example, regulating education is primarily a state responsibility, establishing local governments is typically done by the state, and conducting elections is often controlled by the state as well. Therefore, while these may be important functions of government, they are not examples of delegated powers granted to the federal government.
