• A. newly cooled lava
• B. bare rock
• C. abandoned farm land
• D. newly created pond

Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
Primary succession starts in an area with no previous community and no soil. Secondary succession starts where a community was destroyed but soil remains.

Step 2: Primary succession sites
Newly cooled lava, bare rock and a newly created pond are all sites of primary succession.

Step 3: Secondary succession sites
Abandoned farmland, burnt or cut forests and flooded land still have soil, so succession is faster there.

Step 4: Conclusion
Secondary succession takes place on abandoned farmland.

Final Answer:
Secondary succession takes place on abandoned farmland. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{abandoned farm land}} \]
