Answer: ok

Explanation: “In primary succession, newly exposed or newly formed rock is colonized by living things for the first time. In secondary succession, an area that was previously occupied by living things is disturbed, then re-colonized following the disturbance.”-Khanacademy

I think basically, it is saying that you need primary succession in order to colonize and then you have secondary succession which re-colonizeses the area. It could be like a natural disaster, but secondary succession will rebuild back the ecosystem and may even bring good alterations in some scenarios.
