An appropriate null hypothesis for testing a proportion is that the population proportion is equal to a specific value, which in this case is 0.60. Option A is not appropriate as it states the sample proportion instead of the population proportion. Option B and D are not appropriate as they do not specify a specific value for the population proportion to be tested against.
