Primary and secondary succession

In primary succession, newly formed or newly exposed rock is colonized for the first time by living beings.

In secondary succession, an area previously occupied by living organisms is disrupted and new colonization occurs after disturbance.

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option B.
