The correct sequence in primary hydrarch succession in early seral stages would be:
1. | Submerged plant – Submerged free-floating plant – Reed swamp – Marsh meadow |
2. | Submerged free-floating plant – Submerged plant – Reed swamp – Marsh meadow |
3. | Submerged plant – Submerged free-floating plant – Marsh meadow – Reed swamp |
4. | Submerged free-floating plant – Reed swamp – Submerged plant – Marsh meadow |

Assertion (A): | The plants that are early seral species also tend to be wind-pollinated rather than insect-pollinated. |
Reason (R): | They are often photosynthetic plants. |
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
3. | (A) is true but (R) is false. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are false. |

Assertion (A): | Secondary succession is usually faster than primary succession. |
