than the original standard divisor
__________.

jefferson method
webster method
hamilton method
huntington method

Explanation:

The Jefferson method (also known as the greatest - remainder method or the divisor method) is a method of apportionment. In this method, a modified standard divisor is used, and this modified standard divisor is lower than the original standard divisor. The Webster method uses a divisor that can be higher or lower, the Hamilton method is a quota - based method without a modified divisor in the same way, and the Huntington method is a family of methods with different criteria. So the method that uses a modified standard divisor lower than the original is the Jefferson method.

Answer:

A. Jefferson method
