Correct Answer Explanation

The population table classified by workers/non-workers, gender, AND location is an example of three-way classification.

Key Points:
  • First classification: Location (Rural, Urban, All).
  • Second classification: Gender (Male, Female, Total).
  • Third classification: Worker status (Main, Marginal, Total workers, Non-workers).
  • Three characteristics are used simultaneously for classification.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
  • A. One-way: Would use only one classifying characteristic.
  • B. Two-way: Would use only two classifying characteristics.
  • D. Spatial only: Location is just one of three classifications used.
