Detailed Solution & Explanation
Data is classified as primary or secondary based on its source of collection. Primary data is collected first-hand by the investigator for a specific research project. Secondary data, on the other hand, refers to data that has already been collected, compiled, and published by some other agency or organization for a different purpose. Census reports are official government documents published by the census department. When a researcher uses data on religion obtained from these census reports, they are utilizing pre-existing, published data. Therefore, this data is classified as secondary data. Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
