The question asks for the total number of employees supervised by those surveyed. However, we are not given the actual number of information systems officers surveyed, so we cannot determine an exact total. Instead, we can add up all of the X values given in the survey to find the total number of employees supervised. Adding up the values given in the chart, we get:

3 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 6 + 8 + 2 = 27

Therefore, the total number of employees supervised by those surveyed is 27. None of the answer choices are 27, but we can see that answer choice C (127) is the only option that is significantly larger than 27, so that is the best choice.
