Given:

There are given that the number of people who said yes is 191 and who said no is 485.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given question:

The total number of people is:


191+485=676

That means the total outcome is 676.

Now,

The probability that the person is chosen own dog is:


P=\frac{The\text{ number of people who have their own dog}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}

So,


P=\frac{191}{\text{6}76}

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option is C.
