C
More people in the poll own a car than do not own a car.
D
The total number of people in the poll who own a car is 4,120.
Explanation
Compare the percentage who own a car in each city: in Los Angeles, 3,251 ÷ 4,120 is about 79%, while in New York City, 1,478 ÷ 7,660 is about 19%. Therefore, a greater percentage of LA residents own a car. The data are categories rather than numerical measurements, and the total number of car owners is 4,729, not 4,120.
