To find the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs who are 7th graders, calculate the total number of 7th graders who prefer dogs and divide it by the total number of students.
Total 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8
Total 7th graders = 36+8+2 = 46
Relative frequency = (8/46) x 100% = 17.4%
So, the correct answer is 17.4%
