I'm pretty sure it's C: The case expanded federal power to include some control over trade within and across state borders. I'm taking the same test.

Sorry if its wrong but I'm 90% sure. :)

The correct answer is:

The case expanded federal power to include some control over trade within and across state borders.

In Gibbons v. Ogden (1824), the Supreme Court sustained that the authority to control interstate commerce, conferred to Congress by the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution, included the power to regulate navigation. Regarding conflicts around licenses granted, the New York state court rejected Gibbons’ case, affirming that U.S. Congress controlled interstate commerce.
