Primary succession most likely occurs in the situation where "sheets of ice that once covered an area melt away, exposing a layer of rock." This is because primary succession begins in area where no soil exists, such as bare rock, which is typically exposed when glaciers melt. The other scenarios involve areas where soil is already present, which would more likely lead to secondary succession.
