    With reference to demographic data collection and the preparations for the upcoming decadal Census scheduled for 2027, consider the following statements:

    1. AOnly one
    2. BOnly two
    3. CAll three
    4. DNone of the above
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Statement 1 is wrong: registration of births and deaths sits in the Concurrent List (Entry 30), not the Union List, so the Civil Registration System is a shared subject. Statement 2 is correct, as the Houselisting and Housing Census captures the condition of settlements and housing shortfalls. Statement 3 is correct, since the Mother Tongue Survey covers tongues recorded consistently across two or more Census decades, leaving two true statements.
