Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct answer is option C.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ecological community in which populations of plants or animals remain stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. A climax community is the final stage of succession, remaining relatively unchanged until destroyed by an event such as fire or human interference.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Climax communities are stable because they are very diverse. The diversity of climax communities means that each ecological niche is likely to be occupied by multiple organisms.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A climax community, like coniferous, deciduous, and tropical rain forests, remain relatively unchanged. They end if it is destroyed by an event or by human intervention.
Detailed explanation-5: -Features of climax communities they have moderate conditions, also called mesic conditions.
