Read the following statements.

Statement I : The rate of succession is much faster in secondary succession and hence climax is reached more quickly.
Statement II : In primary succession soil already exists far before the pioneer community colonise the place.

In the light of given statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

The rate of secondary succession is quick compared to primary succession. It is because in secondary succession the soil is readily available for colonisation as the land was previously occupied by different living organisms due to primary succession. But primary succession is a very slow process as proper conditions are not available at the beginning for colonisation of different species.
