• B. Zooplankton $\to$ Floating stage $\to$ Submerged stage $\to$ Reed swamp stage $\to$ Sedges $\to$ Bushes $\to$ Trees
• C. Phytoplankton $\to$ Zooplankton $\to$ Submerged stage $\to$ Floating stage $\to$ Reed swamp stage $\to$ Sedges $\to$ Bushes $\to$ Trees
• D. Zooplankon $\to$ Submerged stage $\to$ Floating stage $\to$ Sedges $\to$ Reed swamp stage $\to$ Bushes $\to$ 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) $\to$ zooplanktons (consumer) $\to$ rooted submerged hydrophytes $\to$ free-floating hydrophytes $\to$ reed swamps $\to$ sedges or marsh-meadow stage $\to$ woodland or scrub stage $\to$ trees (climax forest).
