The probability that Joe will be accepted at University A is 0.25 and the probability that he will be rejected from University B is 0.60 (100%-40%). The probability of both events happening together (Joe being accepted at University A and rejected from University B) is the product of their individual probabilities:

0.25 x 0.60 = 0.15

Therefore, the answer is C) 0.15.
