Explanation:

To determine what Congress can do regarding the military, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Congress has the power to declare war (e.g., as per the U.S. Constitution, Congress holds the war - making power).
• Option B: Congress is responsible for raising and funding the army and navy (it has the power of the purse and can authorize the creation of military forces).
• Option C: While the President (as Commander - in - Chief) has some military - related powers, Congress also has the authority related to calling up the militia for these purposes in certain circumstances, and overall, the powers in A, B, and C are all within Congress's purview regarding the military.

Since options A, B, and C all describe powers that Congress has regarding the military, the correct answer is D.

Answer:

D. all of the above
