Solution
This is an example of (Choice A) Secondary succession. Secondary succession is the series of community changes which take place on a previously colonized, but disturbed or damaged habitat. In this case, the forest was previously colonized, but a fire (disturbance) caused damage, leading to the shedding of seeds and recolonization of the area.
