Google suggests it is P because "not even Superman can hold it" but I doubt if this would be acceptable for a 9 year old's school assignment, if that is what the question is from? Or is it a puzzle book or something like that?

I have grave doubts about the kind of school system that awards credit marks for solving riddles, though, so maybe I am mistaken.

It is a "joke", relying on the double of meaning of "pee". (1. the letter P in the Roman alphabet 2. To urinate). It is supposed, for the purposes of the joke, that even "Superman" (a fictional character in a US comic strip) cannot resist the urge to urinate or "hold his pee". Therefore P is a strong letter because even Superman caonnot hold it.
