Explanation:

In 1824, the Democratic - Republican Party split due to internal factionalism. Factions within the party supported different candidates (Adams and Clay vs Jackson). Also, Jackson won the most popular votes but lost the presidency through the House of Representatives vote, causing discontent. The Federalist Party was already in decline by 1824 and did not capture the most electoral votes or cause the split in the way described. John Adams did not suffer a stroke and withdraw from the 1824 election.

Answer:

B. Factions of the Democratic - Republican party supported Adams and Clay, while another faction of the party supported Jackson.
C. Jackson received the most popular votes but was not elected president.
