When drive-ins were at the height of their popularity in the late 1950s, some 4,000 existed in the United States, but today there are less than one-quarter that many.
there are less than one-quarter that many
there are fewer than one-quarter as many
there are fewer than one-quarter of that amount
the number is less than one-quarter the amount
it is less than one-quarter of that amount
amount指代不可数,不能形容4000,D中the number 和 the amount都指代不清
as many在这里是固定词组,表示同样数量的,如:twice as many
