The correct answer is:
C

For exponential (rapid) growth, the age structure must be having higher pre-reproductive individuals -i.e., the pre-reproductive group > reproductive group > post-reproductive group. A broad-base (triangular) age pyramid means many individuals will soon enter the reproductive phase, driving accelerating growth.
