The owner is the legal entity, the doing business as refers to other names used by the entity which usually must be registered. In this note you may understand more: https://www.ayalamateus.com/what-is-the-point-of-a-dba-application

It's your choice.  Do you want to own the trademark individually, and license it to your llc to use?  Or do you wnat the llc to own it?  As for dba, an llc is not a dba, it is a separate legal entity, but it can use a d/b/a.   For example,XYZ Partners, LLC may own a bowling alley and  do business as "Acme Bowling Alley".  If the llc is using such a d/b/a, it would have to register it.  If the llc is not using a d/b/a, but is simo;y doing busines under its own name, leave that blank.
