the answer is b henery clay helped join... ect

The correct answer is B) Henry Clay helped John Quincy Adams win Congress's vote for the presidency, so Adams made Clay the Secretary of State.

This presidential election went to Congress to begin with because none of the candidates got the necessary amount of electoral college votes to win the presidency outright. Even though Andrew Jackson had the most popular votes and the most electoral college votes, he would lose to John Quincy Adams due to this shady political deal made by Clay and Adams.
