Solution

The correct option is C pre-reproductive individuals are more than the reproductive individuals
A population is composed of individuals belonging to different age groups at any given time.

The individuals in a population can be divided into three age groups: pre-reproductive, reproductive and post-reproductive age groups.

In a growing population, the individuals in the pre-reproductive age group are more when compared to the individuals of the reproductive age group. The number of individuals in the post-reproductive age group is the least.
