Explanation:

In secondary - succession (where soil is present as in the case of a harvested field), grasses and wildflowers are pioneer species that quickly colonize the area. Mosses and lichens are pioneer species in primary - succession (where there is no soil). Oak and pine trees, as well as shrubs and young trees, take longer to establish and grow compared to grasses and wildflowers.

B. grasses and wildflowers
