  1. The correct sequence of plants in a hydrosere is:
    1. Volvox → Hydrilla → Pistia → Scirpus Lantana → Oak
    2. Pistia → Volvox → Scirpus → Hydrilla → Oak → Lantana
    3. Oak → Lantana → Volvox → Hydrilla → Pistia → Scirpus
    4. Oak → Lantana → Scirpus → Pistia → Hydrilla → Volvox
Correct Option: A

The correct sequence of plants in a hydrosere is Volvox, Hydrilla, Pistia, Scirpus, Lanatana and Oak. A hydrosere is a plant succession which occurs in a fresh water lake. In time, an area of open fresh water such as a lake will naturally dry out, ultimately becoming woodland. During this change, a range of different landtypes such as swamp and marsh will succeed each other. The succession from open water to climax woodland is likely to take at least two hundred years.
