According to the information given in the question, 905,000 children were victims of child abuse in 2002. Out of these, the percentage of children who were abused by their parents can be calculated as:
(Number of children abused by their parents / Total number of abused children) x 100
= (Unknown / 905,000) x 100
Therefore, to get the answer, we need to find the value of "Unknown."
Unfortunately, the question does not provide this value. However, we do know that the answer has to be a whole number, which means that we can eliminate choices A and B, which contain decimals. 
Between choices C and D, D is the highest and closest to 100, which is the maximum percentage possible. Therefore, the best choice is D: 84%.
