D. Both the statement are false

Answer

To analyze the statements provided, we will evaluate each statement step by step.

### Step 1: Evaluate Statement I
- **Statement I**: According to the 2001 census report, the population growth rate was still around 1.7%.
- **Analysis**: The 2001 census data reported that India's population growth rate was indeed approximately 1.7%. This is a factual statement based on the census data.

### Step 2: Evaluate Statement II
- **Statement II**: At this rate, if the population increases, then the population could double in 33 years.
- **Analysis**: To determine if the population can double in 33 years at a growth rate of 1.7%, we can use the Rule of 70. The Rule of 70 states that to find the doubling time (in years) of a population growing at a certain percentage, you can divide 70 by the growth rate percentage.

- Doubling Time = 70 / Growth Rate
- Doubling Time = 70 / 1.7 ≈ 41.18 years

Since 41.18 years is greater than 33 years, Statement II is incorrect. The population would not double in 33 years at a growth rate of 1.7%.

### Conclusion
- **Final Evaluation**:
- Statement I is true.
- Statement II is false.

Thus, the overall conclusion is that only Statement I is correct.
