Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: males and females from urban and rural areas
Explanation: The National Sample Survey 1986–87 reported that domestic responsibilities (household chores) prevented people of both sexes in both urban and rural areas from ever enrolling as students. The correct choice reflects this wide-ranging barrier to enrollment.
Why this answer is right: It covers both genders and both residential areas, matching the survey's finding that household chores were a common reason for never enrolling.
Why the narrower choices are wrong: Options that specify only urban areas, only rural females, or only urban males exclude groups that the survey identified as affected, so they do not match the reported result.
Tip for similar questions: Look for the option whose scope (gender and location) matches the breadth of the cause or effect described; avoid choices that are unnecessarily narrow when the statement implies a broad impact.
