The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what the first organisms to appear are after the vegetation of a place is burnt. This situation leads to a process known as ecological succession. 2. **Defining Ecological Succession**: When an area experiences a disturbance, such as burning, ecological succession occurs. This is a series of changes in the composition of species in a particular area over time. 3. **Identifying Pioneer Species**: In ecological succession, the first species to colonize a disturbed area are known as pioneer species. These species are specially adapted to survive in harsh conditions, such as bare or burnt land. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Mosses**: These are not typically the first to appear after a disturbance; they are usually part of later stages in succession. - **Lichens**: These are known to be pioneer species. They can survive in extreme conditions and can grow on bare rock or burnt soil. - **Liverworts**: Similar to mosses, these are not pioneer species and usually appear after lichens. - **Grasses**: These are also not the first to appear; they come in later stages of succession. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the first organisms to appear after the vegetation of a place is burnt are **lichens**. **Final Answer**: The first one to appear will be **lichens**. ---
