Correct Option (C)

To determine the percentage of female Psychology professors, the total number of Psychology professors must first be calculated. Based on the provided data, there are 4 male Psychology professors and 6 female Psychology professors.

• Total number of Psychology professors = 4 (male) + 6 (female) = 10.
• Number of female Psychology professors = 6.
• The percentage of female Psychology professors is calculated as: $\frac{\text{Number of female professors}}{\text{Total number of professors}}\times 100$.
• Percentage = \(\frac{6}{10} \times 100 = 60%\).

Incorrect Options:

Options (A) 40%, (B) 50%, and (D) 70% are incorrect. These percentages do not align with the calculated proportion of female Psychology professors, which is 60%.
