Answer 1

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is C) Climax communities contain many species, including those with large body sizes.

Explanation:

• A climax community is the stable community that has formed after several stages or seres of ecological succession.
• It has a variety of species and they interact with each other and other biotic and abiotic components of the environment.
• The initial species that grows in primary succession is called the pioneer species.
• Once the succession is completed, the community that occupies a region is known as the climax community.

Hence, a climax community contains many species including those with large body sizes.
