  $i$	$ii$
  Expanding	Declining

  
  
• D.

  $i$	$ii$
  Declining	Stable

  
  

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$i$	$ii$
Expanding	Declining

Triangular age pyramid has high proportion of pre-productive individuals, moderate number of reproductive individuals and fewer post-reproductive individuals. It represents young or rapidly growing population.
In urn-shaped age pyramid, the number of reproductive individuals is higher than the number of pre-reproductive individuals. It represents declining or diminishing population with negative growth. In bell-shaped age pyramid, the number of pre-reproductive and reproductive individuals is almost equal. Post reproductive individuals are comparatively fewer. It represents stable or stationary population, neither diminishing.

So, the correct answer is option 'c'.
