Solution
The conclusion that best describes the care of children by parents is that in the last three decades, fathers have increased their responsibilities in child care, but mothers still perform between 60% and 90% of child care tasks. This statement is supported by research and statistics, showing a trend of increased involvement of fathers, but a still dominant role of mothers in child care. The other options either lack supporting evidence or are too specific to certain situations (like the comparison between Canadian and U.S. fathers) to be considered a general conclusion.
