Answer: C

Solution:

Since there are 120 female employees, there are 300 - 120 = 180 male employees. Since there are 80 male employees with college degrees only, there are 180 - 80 = 100 male employees with advanced degrees. Finally since 200 employees have advanced degrees, there are 200 - 100 = 100 female employees with advanced degrees.
