Final answer:
The correct answer is option d) William Henry Harrison.
Step-by-step explanation:
The election of 1840 was won by William Henry Harrison, who then became the 9th President of the United States, not the 11th as the question mistakenly states. Therefore, the correct answer is d) William Henry Harrison. He achieved this victory as the candidate of the Whig Party, and not the Democratic Party as implied in the question. Harrison's win was not over the Democratic Party and thus the statement claiming it was a victory for the Democratic Party is false.
Regarding the popular vote in the election of 1824, Andrew Jackson won the popular vote but did not get enough electoral votes to win the presidency outright, which led to John Quincy Adams being chosen by the House of Representatives as president.
