In a series of books or movies, is there (A) one climax in each part, (B) one climax in the entire series, or (B) a climax in each part and a sort of mega-climax for all of it?

Usually a climax in each segment and a mega-climax for all. For example:
The Harry Potter Series By J.K. Rowling. Each story reaches a climactic end, but all stories are leading to a big finish in the final book.

That depends on the series.
Books that just use the same characters (Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, etc) need a climax in each book. The characters and their relationships usually evolve and may require mini-climax in each part while building to a mega-climax for the characters.
Multi-part epics (Tolkien's "The Lord Of The Rings", Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, etc) require a climax to each book which acts as a plateau to build the next part of the story on.
