The correct answer is - 1) inverted pyramid, with a narrow base representing a small number of young individuals.
The populations that are decreasing are usually population in countries that are highly developed. The conditions for living are excellent, the medical care on high level, life expectancy very high, but the birth rates very low.
In this type of conditions, there's smaller and smaller number of young individuals, with the middle aged population being much bigger, and the older population being constantly on the rise. This will give the age-structure histogram a reverse shape than what it is supposed to have, it will be similar in appearance like a inverted pyramid, meaning that the population is aging and that it will be constantly on a decline in the future.
<h2>EXPLANATION:</h2>
<h3>Modern monoculture requires vast amounts of rain for irrigating crops as moisture retention is limited in the soil. A lack of topsoil also increases rain runoff. To achieve this vast amount of extra water it means draining from lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, which is exhausting natural resources and aquatic ecosystems.</h3>
A body of rock would most likely exhibit brittle behavior under the condition of LOW TEMPERATURE.
At low temperature, the water in the crevices of the rock will freeze up, the freezing up of this water causes fractures in the rocks and as time goes on the rocks become brittle and parts of it will start falling away.<span />
B! The strongest characteristics will survive when the weak ones won't
