A. It was rumored Clay became Secretary of State because he threw his support for Adam's who became President.

Explanation:

In the election of 1824, Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams were candidates. As Jackson finished first in the initial round but failed to capture a majority of electoral votes, the House was charged with deciding the election. John Quincy Adams ended winning the election and Clay, who had thrown his support for Adams, became Secretary of State. This led many people to believe that a corrupt pact had been made between the two candidates.
