- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The population pyramid is a graphical representation of the age and gender distribution of a population.

This is often reflected in a population pyramid with a wide base, indicating a higher percentage of young people. Additionally, developing countries may have lower life expectancies and limited access to healthcare, resulting in a narrower top of the pyramid, indicating a lower percentage of elderly individuals. Hence, the given population pyramid is very likely to represent a developing country.Rate this question:
