Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 31%.
According to the Census 2011, India’s urban population stood at 377.1 million, representing 31.16% of the total population. This marked a significant increase from 27.81% in 2001. The data highlighted rapid urbanization, with the number of "Census Towns" nearly tripling over the decade. This transition was driven by rural-to-urban migration and the transformation of rural areas into urban clusters, reflecting the growing importance of cities in India's economic landscape.
