Using the given proportions, it is found that the percentage of the people surveyed own fish is given by:

A. 12%.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. When a proportion is multiplied by 100%, we get a percentage.

From the table, it is found that the proportion of people who own a fish is of 0.04 + 0.08 = 0.12. Hence the percentage is of 12%, and option A is correct.
