Explanation:
1) A. Demography
Demography is the statistical study of Human population. Demographers use data from census, surveys, and statistical models to analyze the size, movement, and structure of populations.
2) C. A graph showing population distribution
A population pyramid is a graph showing the age distribution of a population centered on men and women.
3) C. Change in birth rate
A population pyramid is a graph showing the age distribution of a population centered on men and women.
4) C. The composition of the population in the area
Population structure means the "composition" or composition of a population. Looking at the demographics of a place, you can see how its population is divided among men and women of different ages.
5) B. male population
The image actually contains two plots in mirrored format on either side of a central vertical axis. The female population is shown to the right of the axis and the male population is shown to the left.
6) D. total number of population
The size of each stripe can be expressed as a percentage of the total population or as a raw number. Usually males are shown on the left and females on the right.
7) B. population pyramid
A population pyramid is a graphical representation of a country's total population, the ratio of male to female population, and the ratio of elderly to young people.
8) A. age groups of population
The population size is shown on the x-axis (horizontal) while the age-groups are represented on the y-axis (vertical).
9) C. female population
The size of each bar can be displayed either as a percentage of the total population or as a raw number. Males are conventionally shown on the left and females on the right.
10) A. True
the graph displays the population number. It can represent a total population of that age—the total number of males/females who are of a certain age.
11) A. True
The size of each bar can be displayed either as a percentage of the total population or as a raw number
12) B. Increasing birth rates and death rates
Two primary reasons for this are increased life expectancy and lower birth rates.
