[Tex/LaTex] Table next to figure using subfig

subfloats

I'm trying typeset a table next to a figure using subfig, but I cannot get them to align properly. I have found a similar(/identical) question here, but the solutions/suggestions do not seem to be applicable in my case as (a) I am using a fully-updated TeX Live 2013 distribution; and (b) I do not make use of the hyperref package.

Since the journal I am preparing this document for kind of forces subfig onto me, I would rather solve this without having to resort to using a different subfloat package.

The issue:

And a MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \subfloat[Figure]{\rule{4cm}{4cm}\label{subfig:black-hole}}%
  \qquad
  \subfloat[Table]{%
    \begin{tabular}{cc}
      \hline
      C1 & C2 \\ \hline
      A  & A \\
      B  & B \\
      C  & C \\
      D  & D \\
      E  & E \\
      F  & F \\ \hline
    \end{tabular}
    \label{subtbl:the-table}
  }
  \caption{Figure and table.}
  \label{fig:figure-and-table}
\end{figure}

\noindent Look at Figure~\ref{fig:figure-and-table}; it includes both a figure (Figure~\ref{subfig:black-hole}) and a table (Table~\ref{subtbl:the-table}).
\end{document}

Edit:
Just to elaborate on my own silliness: I had already tried [b] but I didn't realise that it actually helped. On the top is what I got and on the bottom is what I thought I should get:

  Figure    Table

 ---------
 |       |
 |       |
y|       |  
 |       |  C1 C2
 |       |  -----
 ---------  A  B
     x      -----
   (a)       (b) <- The subcaptions


 ---------  
 |       |
 |       |
y|       |  C1 C2  
 |       |  -----
 |       |  A  B
 ---------  -----
     x      
   (a)       (b) <- The subcaptions

So I thought that the bottom of the table would be aligned with the x axis instead of the x label, which I assume is impossible without some manual work. I'll just keep looking for a way to do that and ask again if I'm lost. :-)

Best Answer

Use the option [b] to align the table.

\begin{tabular}[b]{cc}

and the result is
