{A} INCORRECT; "less" is used for uncountables.

Amount is used for uncountables too ... ignore {C}, {D} & {E}

Hi mukherjee.tanuj3,

As Rahul has pointed out, the primary issue in this SC is the issue of "countable" vs. "non-countable" nouns.

Items that can be physically counted should be referred to with the words "number" and "fewer."

Items that cannot be physically counted should be referred to with the words "amount" and "less."

This SC refers to "drive-ins", which is a noun that you CAN physically count. Each of the 4 wrong answers uses a "non-countable" word.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi,
"less" is used when the concerned noun is uncountable or A NUMBER, such as volume, density, dollars. Therefore, I preferred less rather than fewer as a number was concerned .
Am I missing something?
Ex- Volume of Earth is less than that of Sun.

Regards,
Mukherjee

Hi!

"Less" doesn't describe a number here; it describes how many drive-ins [a countable plural noun] there are now.

The verb might help:

One number IS less than the other.
There ARE fewer drive-ins (fewer than 4000) now.
The number of drive-ins IS less now.
