Question

a weeds and grasses
b trees and shrubs
c volcanoes and soil
d lichens and moss

Explanation:

In ecological succession, the climax community is the final stable stage. As shown in the image, after 115+ years (the climax stage), the dominant organisms are trees and shrubs. Weeds and grasses (A) are earlier - stage (like 15 - year mark in some successions). Volcanoes (C) are abiotic. Lichens and moss (D) are pioneer species (very early stage, like in primary succession on bare rock).

Answer:

B. trees and shrubs
