Solution
The correct option is A expanding
What is shown here is an age pyramid. An age pyramid is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population. Age pyramids with a broader base, that is a large number of individuals in the pre-reproductive and reproductive stages indicate an expanding population. When the number of individuals is more or less equal in all age classes, it indicates a stable population and when the base is narrow with lesser pre-reproductive individuals, it indicates a declining population.
