Solution

The correct option is D high percentage of young individuals
The age pyramid with broad pyramid indicates high percentage of young individuals.
Stationary or a stable population pyramids are those that show a somewhat equal proportion of the population in each age group. There is not a decrease or increase in population; it is stable.
If the age pyramid is urn-shaped then it indicated low percentage of young individuals and high percentage of old individuals. This shows diminishing of population.
