• B. Zooplankton $ \rightarrow $ Floating stage $ \rightarrow $ Submerged stage $ \rightarrow $ Reed swamp stage $ \rightarrow $ Sedges $ \rightarrow $ Bushes $ \rightarrow $ Trees
• C. Phytoplankton $ \rightarrow $ Zooplankton $ \rightarrow $ Submerged stage $ \rightarrow $ Floating stage $ \rightarrow $ Reed swamp stage $ \rightarrow $ Sedges $ \rightarrow $ Bushes $ \rightarrow $ Trees
• D. Zooplankon $ \rightarrow $ Submerged stage $ \rightarrow $ Floating stage $ \rightarrow $ Sedges $ \rightarrow $ Reed swamp stage $ \rightarrow $ Bushes $ \rightarrow $ Trees

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Hydrosere is the series of biotic communities that form/develop in a newly formed aquatic system like a lake or pond.
Hydrosere has several stages of succession as below -
Phytoplanktons (producers) $ \rightarrow $ zooplanktons (consumer) $ \rightarrow $ rooted submerged hydrophytes $ \rightarrow $ free-floating hydrophytes $ \rightarrow $ reed swamps $ \rightarrow $ sedges or marsh-meadow stage $ \rightarrow $ woodland or scrub stage $ \rightarrow $ trees (climax forest).
