The three-fifths Compromise was a compromise regarding counting of population in slave states: the question was how should slaves be counted towards the whole population of the state. The southern states wanted to count the slaves towards the population, since it would give them more representatives in congress but nothern states believed that only free people should be counted.

The correct answer is: d. slavery.
