Data collection by any method should be scrutinized by

  • A.taking sample of units and verifying them in field
  • B.examining the consistency in the data collected
  • C.examine the information collected in totality
  • D.examine the consistency in unit of measurement in survey

Answer: D

The key is that data collection should be scrutinised by examining the consistency in the data collected. Internal consistency checks, such as that a mother is older than her children or that the number of births matches the number of women of childbearing age, find errors in the data.

Taking a sample of units and verifying them in the field is a separate post-enumeration check. Examining the information in totality is too vague to be a method, and consistency in the unit of measurement covers only one narrow kind of error, so the more general option is the one in the key.
