Given the table, you can identify that:

• This percentage of dragons in Kumandra can't fly:


67\text{ \%}

Since the percentage of dragons that can't fly is:


33\text{ \%}

You can determine that most of the dragons in Kumandra can fly.

• Notice that the percentage of dragons that can fly but can't breathe fire is:


65\text{ \%}

And the percentage of dragons that can fly and breathe fire is:


2\text{ \%}

Therefore, most of the dragons that can fly can't breathe fire.

• You already know the percentage of dragons that can breathe fire and fly. Notice that the percentage of them that can breathe fire but can't fly is:


22\text{ \%}

Therefore, most of the dragons that can breathe fire can't fly.

• Notice that the percentage of dragons that can’t breathe fire or fly is:


11\text{ \%}

Since the total dragons are represented with this percent:


100\text{ \%}

You can set up this ratio to represent that:


(11)/(100)

Hence, the answer is: Second option.
