Total number of responses
= 2,005 + 120 + 3,512 + 12 + 1,006
= 6,655
"Yes" responses for Question A
= 2,005 + 120
= 2,125 (Clearly less than 50% of total responses, Majority No)
"Yes" responses for Question C
= 2,005 + 120 + 3,512 + 12
= 5,649 (Clearly more than 50% of total responses, Majority Yes)
"Yes" responses for Question E
= 1,006 + 12
= 1,018 (Clearly less than 50% of total responses, Majority No)
= 2,005 + 120 + 3,512 + 12 + 1,006
= 6,655
"Yes" responses for Question A
= 2,005 + 120
= 2,125 (Clearly less than 50% of total responses, Majority No)

Number of responses against say row 1 are the number of people who answered yes for a, yes for b ..likewise for c d e.
So adding the number of responses for column a for yes gives 2125, where as number of NO is 3512+1006+12 .. which is greater than yes for a.
So majority have said no for question A
For C it's majority Yes
For E , majority No.
