d. primary succession, because soil and organisms will remain after the flood

Primary succession occurs in areas with no soil or organisms, like newly formed volcanic islands. Secondary succession happens in areas where soil and some organisms remain after a disturbance like a flood. Since soil and organisms are likely to persist post - flood, it's secondary succession.
