**Climax Community and Ecological Succession**

5. *Which of these best describes a climax community that results from succession?*

- a. a forest of hardwood trees
- b. a mixture of pine trees and oak trees
- c. trees that are all mature 
- d. depends on the biome

**Explanation:** 
In ecology, a climax community is the stable, final stage of ecological succession in which the ecosystem is in equilibrium. It is the point where the environment is fully developed and the species composition remains relatively unchanged. The correct answer to the question depends on the context provided by the biome or specific characteristics of the forest in question, often implying option (d) "depends on the biome."
