b. a college student finishes his/her undergraduate degree in four years and the student is female
c. a college student finishes his/her undergraduate degree in four years given that the student is female

Explanation:

In probability notation, $C|A$ represents a conditional event, meaning event $C$ occurs given that event $A$ has already occurred. Here, event $A$ is "a student is female" and event $C$ is "a student finishes his/her undergraduate degree in four years".

C. A college student finishes his/her undergraduate degree in four years given that the student is female
