Correct Option: C

Accurate census figures are vital for effective resource allocation. Planners use census data to understand population distribution, demographics, and needs. This information helps them:

  • Allocate resources (like schools, hospitals, infrastructure, etc.) to areas where they are most needed.
  • Determine the scale of social amenities required (e.g., number of classrooms, hospital beds).
  • Plan for employment by understanding the size and skill set of the labor force.
