No. of married visitors = 100% - 60% = 40%
No. of married visitors with multiple children = 25%
No. of married visitors with one child = 100% - 25% = 75% (note that these are married visitors)

So, % of the San Diego Zoo visitors who have only one child = 40% of 75% = 40% * 75/100 = [spoiler]30%[/spoiler]

The correct answer is C.
