Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Wide base and narrow top. A wide base and narrow top mean more young population and less old population. It suggests high fertility and death rate. Many developing countries have such type of population pyramid.
Detailed explanation-2: -A population pyramid that is very triangular (e.g. Mozambique in 2000) shows a population with a high number of young dependents and a low life expectancy. Bulges in the slope indicate high rate of immigration or a preceding baby boom year.
Detailed explanation-3: -LICs/LEDCs/Developing Countries This population pyramid is wide at the base, which means there are a large proportion of young people in the country. It tapers very quickly as you go up into the older age groups, and is narrow at the top. This shows that a very small proportion of people are elderly.
