17. Five people, A, B, C, D, and E, are playing a card game. Each person draws two cards from the 10 cards numbered $1, 2, \cdots, 10$, and adds the numbers on the two cards to get their score. The scores of the five people are as follows: A 11 points, B 4 points, C 7 points, D 16 points, E 17 points. Which of the following statements is correct? ( ).
(A) A drew a card with the number 3
(B) C drew a card with the number 3
(C) A drew a card with the number 4
(D) C drew a card with the number 4
(E) D drew a card with the number 7
17. C.

If Yi gets 4 points, then he must have drawn the cards 1 and 3, so options (A) and (B) can be eliminated.

If Ding draws the card with the number 7, then his two cards must be 7 and 9. However, since Wu gets 17 points, he must have drawn 7 and 10, which means the card 7 is drawn twice, leading to a contradiction. Therefore, option (E) can be eliminated.

If Bing draws the card 4, and since he gets 7 points, he must have also drawn the card 3, which means the card 3 is drawn by both Yi and Bing, leading to a contradiction. Therefore, option (D) can be eliminated.
Thus, the answer is (C).
