(c) There is enough evidence to conclude that the proportions have changed significantly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Population proportion

Business College = 35%

Liberal Arts College = 35%

Education College = 30%

Sample proportion

Number of students sampled = 300

Business College = 90/300 * 100 = 30%

Liberal Arts College = 120/300 * 100 = 40%

Education College = 90/300 * 100 = 30%

The population proportions are significantly different from the sample proportions.
