  • B
    bare rock
  • Correct answer
    C

  • D
    newly created pond

Solution

Secondary succession occurs in areas where natural biotic communities previously existed but were destroyed or removed due to disturbances such as fire, flood, or human activities.

Abandoned farm lands, cut or burned forests, and flooded lands are examples of areas where secondary succession takes place.

Primary succession occurs in newly formed or exposed areas where no living organisms ever existed, such as newly cooled lava, bare rock, or a newly created pond.

Answer: abandoned farm land

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
