The correct answer is D.
The 1962 census in Nigeria was controversial because many regions believed that their figures were either underreported or inflated, leading to political disputes. Specifically, there were allegations that the population figures for certain regions, particularly the Northern region, were inflated to give it more political power, while other regions felt that their numbers were understated. This led to mistrust and controversy surrounding the census results.
