.A: It is a pyramid shaped age pyramid. In this figure, the base i.e prereproductive stage is very large when compared with the reproductive and past reproductive stages of the population. This type of age structure indicates that the population would increase rapidly

.B: It is an inverted bell shaped pyramid. In this figure, the pre-reproductive and reproductive stages are same. This type of age structure indicates that the population is stable.
