Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Degraded forest.

Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. Examples include areas which have been cleared of existing vegetation (such as after tree-felling in a woodland) and destructive events such as fires. Secondary succession refers to the concept of an ecosystem reviving itself after all or a portion has been destroyed. The primary concept is that the life was previously on the soil, eliminating the need for deposition of new seeds or soil. Secondary succession is a much more rapid process than primary succession because the soil and nutrients are already available.
Since, it involves the changes in the habitat the newly made habitat will not show the changes.
