Solution

The correct option is A Pioneer species
Ecological succession is the process of gradual change in the species structure of an ecological community over time. Pioneer species are the species which are first to colonize at an area and begin a chain of ecological succession that ultimately leads to a more biodiverse steady-state ecosystem.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
