Best answer

Answer: 1. pre-reproductive individuals are more than the reproductive individuals.

Key idea: The age pyramid shape shows population growth.

In a growing (expanding) population the base of the pyramid is broad, so pre-reproductive individuals are more numerous than reproductive ones, and reproductive individuals are more than post-reproductive ones. The other options describe a stable or declining population.

Answer: option 1.
