To calculate the adult male labor-force participation rate, we need to add the number of employed and unemployed adult men and divide it by the total number of adult men.

Number of employed adult men = 1,800,000 + 500,000 = 2,300,000 
Number of unemployed adult men = 80,000 
Total number of adult men = 3,500,000 
[(2,300,000 + 80,000) / 3,500,000] x 100 = 66.7%

Therefore, the adult male labor-force participation rate in Meditor is 66.7 percent (option C).
