Final answer:

Without specific data from 2007, an accurate answer about the percentage of homicides among on-the-job fatalities in the real estate field cannot be determined. However, the nature of real estate work does involve risks including the potential for violent crime.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks about the number of homicides out of the 71 on-the-job fatalities in the real estate field in 2007. Without specific statistical data from 2007, it's not possible to accurately answer whether it was option A) None, B) A small percentage, C) A significant percentage, or D) The majority.

However, it is generally known that real estate professionals face various risks on the job, including the risk of violent crime, due to the nature of their work which often involves meeting with strangers in isolated locations. Therefore, while the absolute number is not provided, it can be assumed that violent incidents, including homicides, could represent a notable concern in the real estate industry.

Still, without exact figures, the precise option (A, B, C, or D) remains unknown.The correct answer is option D.
