90-(29+4+2+9+17+14)=15(only dogs and cats)
thus,(15/90)*100 =100/6=16.67%=17%(approximately).
Hence, B

There are 90 people in total but elements in the set add upto 75. This can only mean that the remaining 15 are either/or D'C'B' or DCB'. Since we are given that everyone surveyed owned at least one animal this means neither dogs, cats and birds (D'C'B')=0 which means we can say 90–75=15=DCB'. Hence our required percentage is 15/90*100≈17%.
