Correct Answer: 1872


Solution : The correct option is 1872.

India's first population census was carried out in 1872, during the time of British colonization. The census was started by Lord Mayo, the Viceroy of India at the time, to compile demographic data on the citizens of British India. India has since carried out a decennial census, which has produced vital information for planning and policy development.
