Solution

The correct option is A relative number of individuals at each age
Age structure of a population is the distribution of people of various ages. It can take a variety of forms, depending on the birth and death trends within the population. If the age distribution is plotted for the population, the resulting structure is called an age pyramid. For example, the age pyramids for human population generally reflects the growth status of the population - (a) whether it is growing, (b) stable or (c) declining.
