Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
The most significant problem in conducting a census is the high rate of rural-urban migration. Here's why:
- Rural-Urban Migration: This constant movement of people makes it difficult to accurately locate and count individuals. It leads to people being missed during the census or counted in multiple places, affecting data accuracy.
- Other options:
- Poor geographical distribution of the population doesn't directly cause problems conducting the census; it describes how the population is spread.
- High birth rates impact population size, but they are not a direct obstacle in census taking.
- Poor town planning affects the logistics of the census in urban areas but it's not the most significant problem.
