The correct answer is (d). As per the census 2011, the literacy rate of India is 74.04%. This means that 74.04% of the population of India aged 7 and above can read and write. The literacy rate has increased significantly since the 1951 census, when it was only 18.33%. This increase is due to a number of factors, including the expansion of education, the improvement of economic conditions, and the government’s focus on literacy programs.
