Solution

The correct option is B Age composition
Age composition of a population is the number of people in different age groups in a country. It affects the population’s social and economic status because only adults in a given population contribute to the economic development whereas children and aged people do not contribute to the economy. Thus the correct answer is option 'Age composition'.
