Answer

  1.  
  1. Expanding.
  2. Stable.
  3. Declining.
  1. The stable pyramid is ideal for a population.

Because :

The number of individuals in the pre-reproductive period is almost equal to those in the reproductive period. As a result, the number of individuals in the reproductive period will be the same in future.

  1. The shape of the pyramids reflect the growth status of the population; any aspect of ecological processes is evaluated in terms of a change in the population size.
