- BVariation
- ✓Succession
- DBiological rhythm

Answer
Correct option: C.
Succession
The transition in the species composition of a given area is called ecological succession.
This takes place due to the change in the environmental conditions in a geographical area.
During succession, some species colonise an area and their populations become more numerous, whereas populations of other species decline and even disappear.
The time scale can be decades $($for example, after a wildfire$),$ or even millions of years after a mass extinction.
