When drive-ins were at the height of their
popularity in the late 1950's, some, 4000 existed in the US, but today there
are less than one-quarter that many.

    

a、there are less than one-quarter that many

    

b、there are fewer than one-quarter as many

    

c、there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount

    

d、the number is less than one-quarter the amount

    

e、it is less than one-quarter of that amount

I think it's B.  There are fewer than 1/4 as many (drive-ins exist in the US).  But the answer says C, parallelling 400 with "that amount".  Any thoughts?

many？1/4的many？many指什么呢？另外AS起什么作用？

C中1/4的amount清楚

如果要用B，就得as many as写完整。
