Explanation:

To find the percentage of the population under age 15 in Country II, we look at the relevant age - groups (0 - 4 and 5 - 9). By visually estimating or summing the values for these age - groups (combining male and female percentages). For the 0 - 4 age group, the combined male and female percentage is approximately 5% (sum of male and female bars in that age range). For the 5 - 9 age group, it is also approximately 5%. So in total, the percentage of the population under 15 is around 10%.

C. 10%
