Solution

The correct option is C Ferns
Biotic succession on a secondarily bare area is called secondary succession, e.g., area devastated by forest fire or deforestation. Ferns are generally the first to grow after forest fire because of their underground rhizomes. Underground rhizomes survive in case of forest fire and then later on when rains come, new fern plants sprout from underground rhizomes.
