You are most likely to observe primary succession in a terrestrial community when you visit a(n)

A) tropical rain forest. B) abandoned field.

C) recently burned forest. D) recently created volcanic island. E) recently plowed field.

Answer:

D) recently created volcanic island.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary succession involves changes that occur in a lifeless habitat that has not been colonized before by plants and animals. It occurs in barren area, and it would take years for a community of plants and animals to be established in it.

A recently created volcanic island is an example of a barren habitat having almost no life in it. I would most likely observe primary succession in such terrestrial community.

A tropical rain forest, abandoned field, recently burned forest, and recently plowed field are habitats that have life on them already.Secondary succession can only be observed in them .
