Solution

The example of primary succession in the options provided is "Lichens cover volcanic rock."

Primary succession is the series of community changes which occur on an entirely new habitat which has never been colonized before. For example, a newly quarried rock face or sand dunes. In the case of lichens covering volcanic rock, the lichens are the first organisms to colonize the previously uninhabited volcanic rock, hence it is an example of primary succession.
