Correct answer: A) Organisms gradually change the environment
Succession occurs when there is a disturbance in the environment, it would be a minor disturbance like a fire or a major disturbance like a volcanic eruption. Based on the disturbance, succession can be divided into two types:
1). Primary Succession: Primary succession is said to happen when a group of the species or a community evolve from a barren land or a land with no life. This land is fresh and does not have any life on it.
Example: Primary succession occurs after a volcanic eruption
2). Secondary Succession: The secondary succession is said to occur when there is a disturbance and it destroys ecosystem but still there is an availability of nutrient, seed, and soil.
Example: Forest Fire
