These secondary compounds are primarily adaptations that is inhibit herbivory.
Option D is correct.
What is meant by herbivory?
Herbivory may be a form of consumption in which an organism principally eats autotrophs such as plants, algae and photosynthesizing bacteria. More generally, organisms that prey on autotrophs in general are known as primary consumers. Herbivory is typically limited to animals that eat plants
What is the herbivory effect?
Herbivory can affect the expansion form of plants by terminating shoot growth and initiating branching and by affecting shoot-to-root ratios. Changes in survival, productivity, and growth of individual plant species affect vegetation structure and community dynasty.
<h3>Why is herbivory important?</h3>
Herbivory can have substantial impacts on habitat health, the structure and variety of plant and soil invertebrate communities and the productivity of economically important crops. The positive impact of herbivory is widely debated within the scientific literature.

Because protists have traits that are similar to animals, plants, and fungi. Some protists have a mixture of all three. The three types of protists are Slime Molds, Algae, and Protozoans.

Increasing the light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, until some other factor - a limiting factor - becomes in short supply. At very high light intensities, photosynthesis is slowed and then inhibited, but these light intensities do not occur in nature.
Answer: D. The succession of community is completed.
Explanation:
A succession can be define as a series of gradual changes that occur in the biotic community of the ecosystem with respect to the changes that occur in the abiotic or non-living factors with respect to time until the ecosystem attains stability.
A climax community is the community that develops in the end of the ecological succession. It is the stable community which does not require any further change to occur. With the development of the climax community the succession completes.
Explanation:
Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation- this occurs in barren areas devoid of life like sand dunes, and lava flows. Communities in a primary succession include:
-barren rock
-bacteria and fungi
-mosses and lichen
Further Explanation:
Succession involves small scale changes within a community that occur repeatedly over the life of that community.
Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:
- colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
- becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
- there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)
The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.
However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.
