Answer: A. secondary succession
An ecological succession is a phenomena which involves gradual series of events which brings changes in the biotic community of the ecosystem with respect to changes in the non- living factors such as soil, water, natural calamity like (forest fire, drought, flood) and time until the ecosystem attains stability. Secondary succession occurs in an area which was previously colonized by floral and faunal species but was disturbed by natural or man-made calamity like forest fire, clear-cut, drought, flooding.The ecosystem again attain colonization due remains of biological species and suitable abiotic factors such as soil, water, weather. Secondary succession is most likely to occur immediately after a rainforest in Brazil is clear-cut as secondary succession facilitates quicker compensation for damage and loss in an ecosystem.
