The question is asking about the factor that is most strongly related to children's self-perceptions. Research has shown that children's self-perceptions are more strongly related to their perceptions of their parents' attitudes toward them than to their parents' actual attitudes toward them. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The other options listed (friends' attitudes, siblings' attitudes, and perceptions of physical appearance) may also influence children's self-perceptions, but they are not as strongly related as their perceptions of their parents' attitudes.
