Detailed Solution & Explanation
Data classification is the process of grouping raw data into homogeneous categories based on common characteristics. Depending on the number of criteria used for classification, it is classified as:
1. **Simple Classification**: When data is classified according to a single criterion or a single attribute (say, attribute ), the classification is termed as simple or one-way classification. For instance, classifying a group of people based on gender only.
2. **Manifold Classification**: When data is classified according to two or more attributes (say, attributes and , or more), it is called manifold classification.
Since the question specifies classification according to one criterion, it is called simple classification.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
