Hint: A population aggregate is a graph that shows the distribution of periods across a population divided down the center between manly and womanish members of the population. The visual starts from youthful at the bottom to oldest at thetop.There are generally three types of population conglomerations created from age- coitus distributions- extensive, constrictive and stationary.


Complete step by step solution:
A population aggregate (age structure illustration) or" age- coitus aggregate" is a graphical illustration of the distribution of a population (generally that of a country or region of the world) by age groups and coitus; it generally takes the shape of an aggregate when the population is growing.
The base of the aggregate consists of individualities of the pre-reproductive age group, the individualities in the reproductive age group are present in the middle and the post-reproductive individualities are placed at the top of the aggregate.
The shape of the age aggregate gives us an idea about the growth status of the population. It's used by demographers to study the mortal populations.
For the mortal population, the age conglomerates generally also include the age distribution of males and ladies( coitus) and therefore also pertain to as age-coitus aggregate. The shape of the aggregate reflects whether the population is growing, stable or declining. When in an age aggregate, the number of individualities of reproductive age is lower than pre- reproductive but advanced than post- reproductive bones, also it shows that population is growing.
Option A is the correct answer.

Note:
A population is composed of individualities belonging to different age groups at any given time. The individualities in a population can be divided into three age groups pre-reproductive, reproductive and post-reproductive age groups.The graphical representation of the age composition of a specific population is called the age pyramid.Age aggregate is attained when the percent individualities of a given age or age group is colluded for the population.
