Answer:

The correct answer is - B. they build up soil deposits on the rocky ground.

Explanation:

Lichens and mosses are known as the pioneer species as they prepare the particular region for the next stages of succession on the bare volcanic region. Lichens and mosses grow on the bare rocks and secrete acids to break the rocks and start soil production.

The soil deposits produced by breaking the volcanic rocks by secreting acids from mosses and lichens. Even after dying these species leads to thickening of the soil and increase organic matter for the next stages to grow.

With more than 18,000 species in the world, they range from the tropics to the Pacific Northwest and further north. They can grow larger than a foot across and can have as many as 40 arms. While sea stars are known for their ability to regrow lost arms, they have an unusual digestive system, too.
