Question #1
Consider statements about ecology: 1. Primary succession occurs on bare rock. 2. Secondary succession occurs after a forest fire. 3. Climax community is unstable. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 2 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Primary succession begins on lifeless, barren substrates like bare rock, where no soil exists initially. Secondary succession occurs in areas where an existing community has been destroyed by disturbances like forest fires, floods, or logging, but soil remains. A climax community is the final, stable, and self-perpetuating stage of ecological succession, in equilibrium with the environment. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
