Solution

The correct option is D
Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: A triangular shaped pyramid with a wide base represents a country with expanding population. These countries have larger populations in lower age groups due to high birth rates.

Statement 2 is incorrect: A pyramid with a narrow base and a tapered top represents a country with a declining population. The pyramid in Japan has a narrow base and a tapered top, which showslow birth and death rates. Population growth in developed countries is typically negligible, or negative.
