Detailed Solution & Explanation
The question is a fill-in-the-blank question asking about the nature of census reports as a statistical data source: 'Census reports are used as a source of ________ data.'
1. **Primary Data**: Data collected by the investigator firsthand for the first time for a specific inquiry (e.g., if a government agency conducts the census, the raw responses they gather are primary to them).
2. **Secondary Data**: Data that has already been collected, processed, and published by some other agency or organization, which is then utilized by a researcher or investigator for their own analysis.
Since census reports are published documents compiled by the government, any researcher or student using these reports is using them as a source of **Secondary** data.
Thus, the word that fills the blank is 'Secondary', which corresponds to Option A. (Note: The term 'secondary' is already present in the question text due to a typographical error in the question source, but Option A remains the correct answer to complete the blank.)
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
