If the age pyramid of a population is nearly rectangular, which characteristic is most likely?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Relatively balanced population across many age groups and slow growth

The governing concept is the interpretation of age-pyramid shape. A nearly rectangular pyramid has broadly similar widths through many age groups rather than an extremely wide base or a sharply narrowing profile. This usually indicates relatively moderate fertility, comparatively low mortality and a population distributed fairly evenly across age groups. Such a population tends to grow slowly or approach a stable structure. Option A is correct. Option B describes a rapidly growing, expansive population, which normally has a broad triangular base. Options C and D are impossible overstatements: a rectangular pyramid includes children and older people, even though their proportions may be relatively balanced. The shape shows demographic balance, not the complete absence of any age group.
