Answer: D. Slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person when

determining representation in Congress.

Explanation:

The three-fifths compromise represents one of the most atrocious acts in the history of the United States.  When attempting to determine representation in congress, the Confederate States, whose populations consisted largely of slaves, appealed that they should have disproportionate amounts of representation, despite the fact that slaves would not be granted citizenship.

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
