The selected answer is wrong:
Succession is the orderly,gradual,step by step replacement of organisms in a habitat.jxt lyk evolution d main aim of succession is to get organisms that are better adapted for life in a habit.since the question is talking of succession in a dry land,it should be mesophytes-shrubs-xerophytes.mesophytes are plants that grows on moist land,they would be replaced by shrubs which are non woody land pland then the xerophytes which are plants that thrives on dry land
My School, the correct answer is A. Students should check Modern Biology, page 368, fig 18-1. Adaptable plant species appear as dryness decreases gradually.
In a very dry habitat, primary succession starts with plants that can survive extreme dryness:
Xerophytes – these are drought-resistant plants (e.g., cactus-like plants). They are the pioneer species.
Shrubs – as soil conditions improve, small woody plants begin to grow.
Mesophytes – these require moderate water, so they come last when the environment becomes less harsh.
D is correct
Step 1: Xerophytes → first colonizers because they tolerate dryness.
Step 2: Shrubs → appear as soil develops and some shade/microclimate is created.
Step 3: Mesophytes → need more moisture and better soil; come last.
myschool the correct answer is xerophytes-shrubs-mesophytes
which is D then why is it showing C
