Answer & explanation
Answer: A) Visitor
Meaning: resident = a person who normally lives in a place *(निवासी)*, from Latin residere, to settle.

visitor = one who is present only for a time and normally lives elsewhere *(आगंतुक, अतिथि)* — a clean reversal.
The Census of India sets up exactly this pair: a usual resident has stayed, or means to stay, six months or more, while a visitor is counted on the night of enumeration but belongs somewhere else.
Why the others are wrong.
• landlord = the owner of a house or land who lets it out *(मकान मालिक)* — this measures ownership; its opposite is *tenant*, and a landlord
