We are given that there are 500 children in the school, and the pie chart shows that **6%** of the children chose **Fish** as their favorite pet. To find how many children said their favorite pet was Fish, we need to calculate **6% of 500**.

Here’s the calculation:

\[
\text{Number of children who chose Fish} = \frac{6}{100} \times 500 = 30
\]

So, **30 children** said their favorite pet was Fish.

It seems none of the provided answers in the options (32, 9, 20, 4) is correct, but the accurate answer is **30**.
