• A. Deflected sere
• B. Disclimax
• C. Plagioclimax
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

• Disclimax is the ecological community that displaces the natural climax community due to interruptions by human activities and consists of organisms that are foreign to that region.
• Plagioclimax is the stage when succession doesn't reach the climax and stops due to various interruptions such as destruction of vegetation.

Hence, the culmination of succession at a stage other than natural climax can be Disclimax and Plagioclimax.

Hence, both options B and C are correct.

So, the correct answer is 'Both B and C'.
