To determine the type of succession occurring from figure A to figure B, I would need more context or specific details about what those figures represent. However, I can provide definitions to help you understand the options:

- **Eutrophication**: This is not a type of ecological succession. It refers to the process where water bodies become enriched with nutrients, which can lead to changes in aquatic ecosystems, like algal blooms.

- **Primary Succession**: This occurs in an area where no soil exists initially (e.g., after a volcanic eruption or a glacier retreat). It starts from bare rock and moves through stages to create a mature ecosystem.

- **Secondary Succession**: This takes place in areas where an ecosystem has been disturbed but soil and some organisms still remain (e.g., after a forest fire or agricultural field abandonment). It typically progresses more quickly than primary succession.

- **Immediate Succession**: This term is not commonly used in ecological context and does not fit within the standard definitions of succession.

If you can provide more information or describe what figures A and B represent, I would be better able to help identify the type of succession.
