Answer 1

Answer:The answer is B. the age classes, in 5-year ranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Age structure pyramid, also called an age-sex- pyramid, is a graphical illustration that shows the distribution of various age groups in a population. It is often viewed as the most effective way to graphically depict the age and distribution of a population.

It contains continuous bars stacked on top of another with each representing an age category, making it a horizontal bar diagram. The horizontal length which is the x-axis represent the number of individuals while the age-groups are represented on the y-axis (vertical or central). The age group are the same size to maintain proportionality.
