Detailed explanation-1: -Climax community is an ecological community in which the species composition remains stable and exist in balance with each other and their environment. It is an ecological community that has reached the final stage of ecological succession.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is a climax community? A climax community is the “endpoint” of succession within the context of a particular climate and geography. In the midwestern U.S., for example, such a community might be a hardwood forest with oaks and hickories as the dominant tree species.
Detailed explanation-3: -(d) Climax community. Hint: During succession over the rocks, the lichen gets replaced by forests. Similarly, in water bodies also the phytoplankton gets replaced by the forest. So, the ultimate community is the most stable community.
