    C.

    D.

    Population Pyramid

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (d) Population Pyramid 

    Explanation:
    • A population pyramid (also called an age-sex structure diagram) is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population, which typically forms the shape of a pyramid when the population is growing.
    • The horizontal axis represents the population size or percentage, and the vertical axis represents age cohorts, with males typically on the left and females on the right.
    • It provides a clear visual representation of the age and sex composition of a population, which helps in understanding demographic trends like birth rates, death rates, and life expectancy. 

    Information Booster:
    • A wide base and narrow top indicate a rapidly growing population, while a more rectangular shape indicates a stable or declining population. 

    Additional Knowledge:
    (a) Population Square .:
    • This is not a standard demographic term. 

    (b) Population Hexagon .:
    • This is not a standard demographic term. 

    (c) Population Circle .:
    • This is not a standard demographic term; pie charts might show proportions but not age/sex distribution in this specific manner.
