Group actions — Burnside's count of orbits

Let X={1,…,17}X=\{1,…,17\} and S17S_{17} be the group of permutations of XX. For a subgroup GG of S17S_{17} and x∈Xx\in X, let SG(x)={σ∈G∣σ(x)=x}S_G(x)=\{\sigma\in G\mid\sigma(x)=x\}. Which of the following statements is true for every subgroup GG of S17S_{17}?
