Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- In ecology, climax community, or climatic climax community, is a historic term that expressed a biological community of plants and animals and fungi which, through the process of ecological succession - the development of vegetation in an area over time - had reached a steady state. This equilibrium was thought to occur because the climax community is composed of species best adapted to average conditions in that area.
