Answer - C. The time required for the Succession to Occur

Reasoning - Behind my answer is because the time the succession evolves and grows to build life and progress to improve and expand in each certain time period.

The correct answer is option D

  • The basic reason to differentiate between the primary and secondary succession is that why the succession started and how the succession started.
  • The primary succession takes place on the bare land, rock where there was no plant or animal species present earlier.
  • The secondary succession takes place when the previously present ecosystem was destructed by the means of human interventions or it occurred naturally.
  • This shows that why and how the succession started.
