Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Secondary succession occur after primary succession and it occur when an area that has supported vegetation previously before ecological disturbances like fire, tornadoes, floods or hurricanes destroyed plants and animals there.

Primary succession occur over time and there is increase in organic matter of the soil.
