Detailed Solution & Explanation
Classification of data refers to grouping of data according to their common characteristics or attributes. Depending on the number of attributes/criteria used for classification, qualitative classification is divided into:
1. **Simple Classification**: When the data is classified according to only one criterion or attribute (e.g., classifying a group of people by literacy status into literate and illiterate, or by gender into male and female).
2. **Manifold Classification**: When the data is classified according to multiple criteria or attributes (e.g., classifying a group of people by gender, and then further classifying each gender category by employment status).
Since the question specifies classification according to 'one criterion', this is defined as simple classification.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
