Correct answer: B
Correct answer: 1921 Explanation: The 1921 Census is called the "Year of Great Divide" because it marked the end of a long phase of population stagnation and the beginning of sustained population growth in India. Turning point: Data up to 1921 show little or no growth, whereas after 1921 the recorded population increases more steadily.
