○ t
○ f

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze ecological succession:

• Primary succession occurs in lifeless areas with no soil (e.g., after a volcanic eruption forming new rock).
• Secondary succession happens in areas where a disturbance (like human activities such as deforestation, pollution, or agriculture) has destroyed an existing ecosystem but left the soil intact.

Human impacts typically disturb existing ecosystems (leaving soil), so they lead to secondary succession, not primary. Thus the statement is true.
