The correct option is D Any person who can read and write in any language
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> According to 2011 census guidelines, a person aged 7 years and above, who can read and write with understanding in any language, is treated as a literate. Literacy rate tells us the percentage of adults who can read and write. A low literacy rate can be an obstacle for the growth and development of a country.
