Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

1. Identify the relevant data:
- We are only interested in the student attendees.
- We need to find out how many students saw an action movie and the total number of student attendees.

2. Find the number of students who saw an action movie:
- According to the table, 77 students saw an action movie.

3. Find the total number of student attendees:
- According to the table, the total number of student attendees is 147.

4. Calculate the percentage:
- To find the percentage of student attendees who saw an action movie, we use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of students who saw an action movie}}{\text{Total number of student attendees}}\right) \times 100 \][/tex]
- Plugging in the numbers:
[tex]\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{77}{147}\right) \times 100 \][/tex]
- This calculation gives us the percentage of students who saw an action movie.

5. Result:
- The percentage of student attendees who saw an action movie is approximately 52.4%.

So, from the given options, the correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{52.4\%} \][/tex]
