Correct Answer:

Age, gender, growth

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Age, gender, growth

A population pyramid is a graphical representation of the age and gender distribution of a population. It typically consists of two back-to-back bar graphs, one for males and one for females, with age groups displayed on the vertical axis. The shape of the pyramid can indicate growth trends in a population, such as whether it is expanding, stable, or declining. Thus, it effectively illustrates the age structure and gender composition of the population.
