In a recent omnibus appropriations bill, Congress allocated a $5 million grant to the state of Maine to build a new Museum of Lobsters located somewhere along the Maine coast. After several media reports confirmed that the grant was included in the federal budget in order to encourage Maine's junior senator to vote for an unrelated environmental bill, plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging that Congress exceeded its constitutional powers in funding the Museum. A reviewing court is most likely to hold that the grant is:
(A) Unconstitutional, because the provision does not serve the general welfare.
(B) Unconstitutional, because the conditional spending provision is coercive.
(C) Constitutional, because the provision falls within the scope of Congress' Spending power.
(D) Constitutional, because the provision falls within the scope of Congress' general police power.
