Based on the provided description of the bar graph showing the number of children in households in Sweden from 1960 to 1990, we can infer trends in population size. If the number of households with children is highlighted, and if the data indicates an increase in households with more children over time, this would suggest a growing population.

However, you mentioned that the first bar is 0, and the subsequent bars show increasing numbers of children. If this pattern indicates a rising trend in the number of households with children, it would imply that more families are present, which typically correlates with a growing population.

Given these observations, the best answer to the question regarding the size of Sweden's population would be:

**A. growing**
