a. The total number of responses for the five sports is 28 (4+8+7+5+4 = 28).

b. The total number of students polled is 24.

c. The answers to parts (a) and (b) are different because some students may have participated in more than one sport, leading to overlapping responses on the line plot. Therefore, the total number of responses would be greater than the total number of students polled.
