Answer:

B. Secondary succession begins on soil and primary succession begins on newly exposed surfaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Succession is the natural development of a series of biotic communities at the same site. There are two types of succession; primary and secondary.

Primary succession occurs on lifeless unoccupied areas while secondary happens right after that and in there soil and some organism is present already.

I hope this answer helps you.
