Straight B.

Drive Ins are Countable Noun, and only 'Fewer' & 'many' are the countable Modifiers. Both these Modifiers exist in Option B ( Apart from the fact that the remaining options has Non-countable Modifiers )

I choose option B over C.
A) "Less" cannot be used here, it is used for uncountables i.e water
D) Which number (number 1 or 2 or 3 or 4..) is less ...
E) "It" is singular and cannot be used here.

Between B and C, i will go with B because of the word "that" in C.

IMO C

the word amount kills C,D and E
having less rather than fewer, A is out.
click on B, therefore
