what is the best form of self defense martial arts for a 7 yr old girl to take.?

My daughter is a yellow belt in taekwondo. She likes it. But my main reason for signing her up in the first place is that she’ll be be able to protect herself throughout the rest of her life. But i’m not sure what is the best type of martial arts for her. There are so many and I don’t know one from the other.
