b. Rectangle
c. Upside-down pyramid
d. Triangle
e. (a) and (d)
f. (c) and (d)

Answer 1

The correct answer is: e. (a) and (d)

Step-by-step explanation:

The Population Pyramid Graph of Bangladesh for the year 1995 was a triangle-shaped pyramid, with a large proportion of population in the early ages (0 to 20). This trend indicates that population size will grow rapidly in the upcoming years.

Triangle-shaped pyramids also reflect the preference of young people to have children at early stages, leading to high birth rate.
