When India started using the concept of Urban area ?
Answer: C
The official key gives 1971 as the year India started using the concept of an urban area as now defined.
The Census of India has used a definition of urban areas based on legal status (municipality, corporation, cantonment, notified area) and on population size, density and the share of male workers in non-agricultural work. The criteria of 5,000 people, 400 per square km and 75 per cent of male workers outside agriculture were applied in 1961 and carried on in 1971.
I could not confirm the exact year the key means, so it stands as published. 1951 was before these criteria and 1981 was after them.
