The correct answer is **ecological succession**.
When a new island forms due to volcanic action, it starts with bare rock and few, if any, organisms. Over time, various species of plants and animals will colonize the area, leading to a gradual process called ecological succession. This process involves the establishment, development, and replacement of different biotic communities until a stable ecosystem is formed.
