○ received care from a relative

○ child cared for self

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the data for 6 - 8 grade

We look at the blue bars (representing 6 - 8 grade) for each category:

• Received care from nonrelative: 3%
• Attended center - based program: 15%
• Received care from relative: 16%
• Parental care only: 51%
• Child cared for self: 26%

Step2: Find the maximum percentage

We compare the percentages: 3% (nonrelative), 15% (center - based), 16% (relative), 51% (parental), 26% (self - care). The highest percentage is 51% which corresponds to "parental care only".

Answer:

parental care only
