Explanation:

In secondary succession after a forest - fire, the soil remains intact. First, grasses tend to grow as they are quick - colonizers. Then, woody shrubs establish. After that, shade - intolerant trees (like coniferous evergreen trees) grow, and finally, shade - tolerant trees (broadleaf deciduous trees) dominate the landscape. Option A follows this correct sequence of succession.
