Answer:

D) House of Representatives.

Explanation:

In 1800, Thomas Jefferson, of the Democratic-Republican party, failed to receive a majority of votes against the Federalist John Adams, which led to a contingent Election in the House of Representatives.

The same happened in 1824, when John Quincy Adams of the Federalist Party defeated Andrew Jackson of the Democratic-Republican party.

So the correct answer is:

D) House of Representatives.
