Explanation

Andrew Jackson received the largest share of the popular vote and the most electoral votes in the 1824 election. However, he did not win a majority of electoral votes, so the House of Representatives chose John Quincy Adams as president. The correct choice is “had the most votes for both the popular vote and the electoral vote.”
