Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
During ecoiegical or biotic succession, climax community is stable, self perpetuating and is the final biotic community. It is developed at the end of succession and is in state of perfect hormony and equilibrium with physical environment.
Climax community has maximum diversity and niche specialisation, thus all the other options are not related to climax community and are wrong.
