The correct answer is: B. Crustose lichen stage->Foilose lichen stage->moss stage->herb stage>shrub stage->forest stage (climax community)
A lithosere is a plant succession that begins on bare rock. The first organisms to colonize bare rock are usually lichens, which are able to grow in the harsh conditions of exposed rock. Lichens secrete acids that help to break down the rock, making it more suitable for other plants to grow. As the rock breaks down, it provides a substrate for mosses, which are the next group of plants to colonize the area. Mosses help to further break down the rock and add organic matter to the soil. As the soil becomes more developed, other plants, such as herbs and shrubs, are able to colonize the area. Eventually, a forest may develop, which is the climax community in a lithosere.
The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the correct order of succession in a lithosere. Option A has the foliose lichen stage occurring before the crustose lichen stage, which is not the case. Option C has the moss stage occurring after the foliose lichen stage, which is also not the case. Option D has the shrub stage occurring before the herb stage, which is not the case.
