Detailed Solution & Explanation
Data is categorized as primary data when the investigator or agency collects it directly from the source for the first time. On the other hand, secondary data is data that has already been collected, compiled, processed, and published by another person, organization, or agency (like a government department). A census report is a published publication compiled by government officers (such as the census commission). When an external researcher or investigator collects and uses data from a census report, the data is obtained from a pre-existing published source, making it secondary data. Thus, the collected data is secondary data. Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
