b. secondary succession begins on soil and primary succession begins on newly exposed surfaces.
c. primary succession modifies the environment and secondary succession does not.
d. secondary succession begins with lichens and primary succession begins with trees.

Answer 1

Primary succession would be starting from nothing, like an exposed rock surface. It's a very long process to make a barren surface livable like a forest.

Secondary succession would be recovery after destruction of an established place. Like, a forest that has been completely burned to ash and has to regrow. This also takes awhile to happen, but not as long as primary succession.

Hope this helps!
