Answer:

Correct answer is none of the choices.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to this Compromise those states that had a large population of slaves could count only three fifth on them while calculating the number of representatives in Congress.

Therefore, none of this options is not correct. They were not counted 3/5 of a person, but only 3/5 of them could be counted as individuals who are living in certain state.
