Answer:

Explanation:

The example of pork barrel legislation in a House spending bill is:

**(Choice A) $398 million is set aside to build a bridge for a small community in Alaska.**

Pork barrel legislation refers to the appropriation of government spending for localized projects secured primarily to bring money to a representative's district. In this case, funding for a specific bridge in a small community in Alaska exemplifies pork barrel spending because it benefits a specific region rather than serving a broader national interest.
