The correct option is D high percentage of young individuals
Age pyramid is a graphical representation of the age structure or the distribution of population according to the age groups (pre-reproductive age group, reproductive age group, and post-reproductive). The population pyramid with a broad base indicates a higher population of pre-reproductive individuals and forms an expanding pyramid.


High percentage of old individuals and low percentage of young individuals indicates declining population while a stable population indicates population remains constant in different age groups over the period of time.
