This question assumes that there are only 2 classes of people - poor and rich.
Is it OK to assume such things? What if there was middle class also?

None of the answers looked good to me because of that.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

@Praveen ..you seems right but in CR we have to use only the information given in stem.

We have to choose best among 5 choices.

None of the answers talk about middle class :(

C is the best answer here

Thanks Ankur..
If my idea was correct, then I would ward-off this question as poorly written.

Question also doesnt say that there are only poor and rich. It would take me some time just to know that only 2 classes are present.

A- reasons to avoid being counted is irrelevant.
B- This is not true. The argument considers rich and poor people of US. This does not mean that all people can be classified into one of the two categories.
C- This accurately states the assumption of the argument. Since the percentage of both the category of people are equal, statistical portrait of census is true.
D- this is not true. Number of homeless Americans uncounted can be equal to the number of rich Americans uncounted. But,the number of the poor homeless Americans is not necessarily equal to the number of rich Americans.
E- Primary purpose of census is irrelevant. Hence (c).
