To find the probability of randomly selecting a male, we need to divide the number of males in the population by the total number of people in the population.

Probability of selecting a male = Number of males / Total number of people

= 60 / (60 + 40)

= 60 / 100

= .60 or 60%

Therefore, the best choice is C) .60, which represents the probability of randomly selecting a male.
