The correct answer is - b. Lichens and moss.

The lichens and moss are the most common pioneers on the newly formed islands. This is due to the their ability to inhabit the bear rocks and very poor soils, and also they are able to reproduce very quickly, so they spread around the whole island in no time. The grasses, trees, shrubs, all need some specific conditions to be able to survive, but the lichens and moss are not really picky about the conditions.
