Answer 1

The correct analysis of a stationary population pyramid is:

The younger generations are replacing the older generations at an equal rate.

A stationary population pyramid typically shows a balanced structure, where the birth rate and death rate are roughly equal, leading to populations in different age cohorts being maintained over time. This results in similar percentages for different age groups, indicating that younger generations are replacing older generations at a sustainable and equal rate.
