Solution
The correct option is B Submerged plants
The phytoplankton stage is followed by submerged plant stage. When a loose layer of mud is formed on the bottom of the pond, some rooted submerged hydrophytes begin to appear on the new substratum. The submerged aquatic vegetation develops in the regions of ponds or lakes where water depth is about 10 feet or more. The pioneers are Elodia, Potamogeton, Myriophyllum, Ranunculus, Utricularia, Ceratophyllum, Vallisnena, Chara, etc.
Along with the subemerged plants there are rooted-floating angiosperms, then reed-swamp, marsh-meadow, scrub and finally the trees. The climax again would be a forest. With time the water body is converted into land.
