Correct answer: C
Explanation
1951 Census and Population Density -
The 1951 census was the first census of independent India. At this time, India's population density was recorded at 117 persons per square kilometer.
Population density - This is the average number of people living per unit area (usually per square kilometer).
This density was only 77 in 1901, and by 1951, it increased to 117. After independence, the population grew rapidly due to improved healthcare facilities and a decrease in the mortality rate, which also increased the density.
