Answer 1

c. It shows the purchasing history of citizens by year.

Step-by-step explanation:

CPI stands for Consumer Price Index. A census in CPI will provide the data about the changes in average price of customers goods and services that's bought by the households in a country.

A government can know the purchasing history of average citizens by examining the changes in these prices. (If the price increases, it usually indicates that more customers purchases that particular product.)
