a. has no riders attached.
b. has been vetoed by the president.
c. originated in the house of representatives.
d. is currently in committee.
mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page)

Explanation:

In the US legislative system, bills starting with "HR" (House Resolution) originate in the House of Representatives. Option A is incorrect as bills can have riders. Option B is incorrect because we only know it's in Congress, not vetoed. Option D: just knowing it's in Congress doesn't mean it's in committee. So the correct reasoning is based on the naming convention of bills.

Answer:

C. originated in the House of Representatives.
