Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, as its residents know well.

This is a test of 1) idiom - fewer or less – and 2) proper modification
A. Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, as its residents know well ……. A lot fewer is wrong; a lot less should come.
B Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, its residents know well that the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage ---- its residents is mis- modification. Baskerville building should come after working class,
C As its residents know well, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot fewer square footage, seeing as it was built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class --- a lot fewer is the problem
D As its residents know well, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage, seeing as it was built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class --- what does the modifier seeing modify? Footage is wrong;
E Built in 1913 as housing for the city's working class, the Baskerville building has a great deal more character than most modern buildings, but a lot less square footage, as its residents know well; correct modification and correct idiom used. ----- Correct choice.

I got this information from the MGMAT SC guide and thought I should post it for those struggling with whether choosing "few" or "less", concerning unit nouns.
When choosing between countable and uncountable nouns one must be careful with unit nouns, such as dollars or gallon; in this case, square footage.
It is true that unit nouns are countable: one dollar, two dollars, three dollars. Thus, they work with most of the countable modifiers. However, unit nouns represent uncountable quantities: money, volume. (You can count money, of course, but you cannot count the noun "money": one money (?), two moneys (?), stop.) As a result, we use "less" with unit nouns, when we really want to indicate something about the underlying quantity.
