The three fifths compromise came into being in 1787 for counting population in which the slaves were considered as three-fifths of a person. After the passing of confederation, each state was given the right to votes. Thus each one state got one vote irrespective of their population. The southern states demanded more votes as they had large population. When this matter reached the constitution, the southern states said they want each slave to be counted as one person in order to earn more delegates in Congress

Hence, option A is correct
