A country with a bell-shaped population pyramid is most likely experiencing: a. Rapid population growth b. Zero population growth c. Negative population growth d. Moderate population growth

A country with a bell-shaped population pyramid typically reflects a stable population structure, where birth rates and death rates are relatively balanced. This suggests that the country may be experiencing moderate population growth, as there are fewer young dependents compared to adults, indicating a declining birth rate but still enough to maintain population levels. In many cases, a bell-shaped pyramid is representative of countries that have undergone demographic transition. Initially, they may have had high birth rates and high death rates, but as they developed, medical advancements and improved living standards led to lower death rates, and over time, birth rates also start to decline, leading to the characteristic bell shape.
