Answer 4

I'm only guessing here sorry, But I believe its C.

The reasoning behind C. is that if they counted the slaves, the south had way more population, therefore way more representation then the north. And the end result was a compromise "the three fifths act", where each "Slave" was counted as 3/5ths of a man...
