Let's analyze the given table to determine the percentage of people who own a bird.

First, let's summarize the given data in the table:

- The first row indicates the percentage of people who own a fish and a bird (`0.04`) and the percentage of people who own only a bird (`0.08`).

- The second row indicates the percentage of people who do not own a fish but own a bird (`0.02`) and those who do not own either (`0.86`).

Our goal is to find the percentage of people who own a bird. According to the table, we need to add the percentages of people owning a bird:

1. Percentage of people who own both a fish and a bird: `0.04`
2. Percentage of people who own only a bird: `0.08`

Let's add these percentages:

[tex]\[ \text{Percentage of people who own a bird} = 0.04 + 0.08 = 0.12 \][/tex]

To convert this to a percentage, we multiply by 100:

[tex]\[ 0.12 \times 100 = 12\% \][/tex]

Thus, the percentage of people who own a bird is:

[tex]\[ 12\% \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ \text{None of the given options, but the correct percentage is } 12\% \][/tex]

(Note: It appears there may have been an error in the provided answer options.)
