Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Primary succession begins in completely barren areas like bare rock or new volcanic islands where no soil or previous life exists

It starts with pioneer species like lichens that slowly create soil over hundreds of years to allow larger plants to grow. The other options describe secondary succession because those areas already have established soil and a history of life
