B. In the absence of such a census, there is no proper estimate for the population of OBCs, various groups within the OBCs, and others.

C. Both A & B

D. None of these

Explanation:

The government has decided as a matter of policy not to enumerate caste-wise population other than SCs and STs in census. Every Census in independent India from 1951 to 2011 has published data on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, but not on other castes. Before that, every Census until 1931 had data on caste. In the absence of such a census, there is no proper estimate for the population of OBCs, various groups within the OBCs, and others.
