The correct option is B Lithosere
Pioneer species are the first organisms that colonise an area. Lichens are the pioneer organism that starts the life on a newly exposed rock surface and this type of succession is lithosere. Lichens grew on the rock surface and over the time period it converts the rock into the soil. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
