If 47% of the enrollment are males, then 53% must be females.

To find the number of females enrolled:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal: 53% = 0.53

2. Multiply the decimal by the total enrollment: 0.53 x 3,910 = 2,072.3

3. Round to the nearest whole number: 2,072

Therefore, there are approximately 2,072 females enrolled in the community college. The closest choice is C, with 2,072 females, so it is the best answer.
