Answer:

The correct answer is B. Thomas Jefferson supported James Madison in 1808.

Step-by-step explanation:

After two terms as president, Thomas Jefferson did not run for president again, but postulated his Secretary of State James Madison, who was then actually nominated by the Democratic Republican Party. James Monroe and incumbent Vice President George Clinton had also applied. Although neither of them had a serious chance, the Democratic-Republican Party nominated Clinton as running mate.

On the side of the Federalists, the same ticket as that of the 1804 elections was nominated, with Charles Pinckney and Rufus King.
