c. volcano

Primary succession occurs where no soil or life remains (e.g., new lava flows or bare rock after a volcanic eruption). Pioneer species (lichens, mosses) gradually build soil and allow later plants to establish. The other choices are disturbances that leave soil and thus lead to secondary succession.
