Answer 1

Answer:

Option C.

Secondary succession occurs in areas lacking vegetation where soil is present.

Explanation:

• Secondary succession always occurs in the place where there had been community living, but were destroyed.
• These succession occurs in the place that lacks the vegetation.
• For example: after the forest fire, the vegetation is destroyed but the soil is present. The succession in forest after massive forest fire is secondary succession.
• If the place has never been colonized before then primary succession occurs.
