Act III. But that is only because "climax" is defined as "Act III of a Shakespearean play" in the Freytag Pyramid theory of the structure of a Shakespeare play.
Seems to be Act 3.
For some people the word "climax" has a technical sense when discussing a play. This might cause them to identify the climax with act 3 of any Shakespearean play. In a non-technical sense, the climax of the play comes when Othello smothers Desdemona. He had a chance up to that point but none after.

If you mean by the climax the denouement or moment of truth, then it should be the last scene where Romeo and Juliet both die and the friar fails to prevent it. Even after Romeo's death the audience might have some hope that Juliet might survive, if they came in after the Prologue. But if you are using the word climax in the technical sense created by Freytag, the climax is the turning point of the action from good to bad, which he found occurs in Act 3 of Shakespeare's plays. And sure enough we find in Act 3 Scene 1 that Romeo kills Tybalt, call himself fortune's fool, and gets banished which means he isn't around to help Juliet escape from the planned marriage to Paris.

The climax of Shakespeare's "Macbeth" occurs in Act 3, Scene 4, when Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost at the banquet he is hosting. This event marks a turning point in the play, as Macbeth's guilt and paranoia begin to consume him.

Act III, Scene 1 is the climax because there is no turning back for Romeo after he kills Tybalt.
discuss in detail all that happens in the first act of waiting for godot and attemp a critical evaluation of the events
If you are talking about Freytag's pyramid, the "climax" is always Act 3. In terms of dramatic tension, this reaches its peak when Othello is about to kill Desdemona.
The climax is the resolution.:)

scenes and acts. An act usually contains several scenes,
A Shakespearean play has five acts, as did most of the plays written in his time. The division into acts was needed so that there would be opportunities to change the candles when the play was performed indoors; when the play was performed outdoors there were no intermissions. The crisis or turning point of Shakespeare's plays often comes in Act III, especially in Act III Scene 1. So the first two acts give the setup, the crisis comes in Act III and it works its way to the conclusion at the end of Act V. But this is not always the case. For example, in A Midsummer Night's Dream, the conclusion is at the end of Act IV and Act V is by way of an epilogue.
