developed
B
developing
C
densely populated
D
distributed evenly
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is Wide base and narrow top. A wide base and narrow top mean more young population and less old population.

Detailed explanation-3: -Population pyramids visualize the demographic structure of a population. The width represents the size of the population of a given age; women on the right and men on the left. The bottom layer represents the number of newborns and above it, you find the numbers of older cohorts.
