They wanted to control oil supplies and trade routes in the region, is the correct answer.

North Africa consists of  Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara, and Egypt. During the second world was this region was the bone of contention between the Allies and the Axis powers. The major reason for the importance of this area was the Suez Canal and Middle Eastern Oil Resources. Due to its Geo-strategic location, the Suez canal was important for the movements of the ships between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean sea. Before the war, France and Britain controlled this region as most of the north African countries were their colonies. But with the war, the Axis powers started to launch campaigns to control these areas. e.g Italy's invasion of Ethiopia(1936)  was a threat to the Allied powers supplies, oil fields and control over Egypt.

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.
