• Option E: The diagram likely shows a significant portion in the working - age range (assuming the middle sections are prominent).
• Option B: If it were extremely high birthrate, the base (young age groups) would be much wider.
• Option C: If there was a large proportion of seniors > 65, the top of the diagram would be more pronounced.
• Option D: If women had > 6 children on average, the base (young age groups) would be very wide (like a classic expanding pyramid).
