Solution

The correct option is B
Short life span and high birth rate

India has an expanding populatiion, with larger number of individuals in the pre-reproductive and reproductive stages. This indicates a high birth rate and a short life span. When the population has a short life span, it will not have many individuals of the older age group, further if the birth rate is high then the number of individuals in the younger age groups tends to stay high.
