Explanation:

Succession refers to the process by which the species composition in a community changes over time as new species colonize an area and others decline. It is not about reduction in biodiversity in the general sense described in the first option, nor is it about speciation through natural - selection (evolution) as in the second option, and creation of life from nothing is not a part of succession.

Answer:

The changes in species composition in a community over time as species colonize an area.
