When a large volcano like Mt. St. Helen erupts, all life in the surrounding area is destroyed. The lava flows and forms new rock in the surrounding area. After several years, organisms, such as lichens and moss begin to recolonize the area. This recolonization of an area that has been totally destroyed (as in the above example), is an example of A) climax succession. B) pioneer succession. C) primary succession. D) secondary succession.

I would say the answer to your question is C) primary succession,because primary succession begins on rock formations, such as volcanoes or mountains, or in a place with no organisms or soil.
