D
climax community.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ecological succession is the process by which the mix of species and habitat in an area changes over time. Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”-like a mature forest-is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology.

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. See more at succession.

Detailed explanation-3: -A climax community is defined as the final stage of ecological succession attainable by a plant community. As plant succession occurs, so does animal succession. As pioneer species establish that life can exist in the area, more advanced plants and animals will move in and become established as well.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct option is A climax. Climax community: The final stable community in ecological succession is called climax community.
