CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The 2011 Census counted 1.21 billion people, or about 121 crore.
That was an increase of about 18.2 crore over the 2001 count.
Any figure above 121 crore is a projection rather than a census count.
Worth noting
The census due in 2021 was postponed, so 2011 remains the most recent complete count.
