If an age-sex pyramid has a very broad base and a very narrow top, which conclusion is most appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Population is youthful and shows the effect of high fertility

An age-sex pyramid with a very broad base contains a large proportion of children and young people. This usually indicates that many babies have been born recently and that fertility has been high, either at present or in the recent past. A narrow top means that older people form a relatively small share, often because fewer people survive to advanced ages or because the population is generally young.

Therefore, option A is the most appropriate conclusion. The shape does not show elderly dominance, equal age proportions, or very low fertility. A broad base usually points toward continued population growth potential, because many young people may enter reproductive ages later. The exact causes should be interpreted with other demographic data, but the supplied inference is standard and well supported.
