Explanation:

The correct statements are:

The pyramid broad at the base and rapidly narrows towards the top depicts - high birth and high death rate both.

The pyramid broad in the younger age groups depicts - low birth rates.

So, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

In countries where death rates (especially amongst the very young) are decreasing, the pyramid is broad in the younger age groups.Such populations contain a relatively large number of young people and which means a strong and expanding labour force. Low birth rates make the pyramid narrow at the base. Decreased death rates allow numbers of people to reach old age.
