Answer: D. Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A.

Answer: (D) Both A and R are correct but R is not correct explanation of A.

Both statements are correct. A broad base means a large share of children (0–14 years), typical of high birth rates. A broad apex means a large share of old people (60+). However, R talks about the top of the pyramid and does not explain why a broad base shows more children, so R is not the explanation of A.
