From the given information, we know that:
- The total number of employees surveyed = 600
- Number of employees with university degrees = 400
- Number of employees who are single = 100
- Number of employees who are single and have university degrees = 60

We can use this information to calculate the number of employees who are married and have university degrees:
Number of employees who have university degrees = 400
Number of employees who are single and have university degrees = 60
Number of employees who are married and have university degrees = 400 - 60 = 340

Therefore, the probability that an employee of the company is married and has a university degree is:
340/600 = 0.567 or 56.7% (rounded to one decimal place)

Hence, the best choice is A.
