Answer is A.The changes in species composition in a community over time as species colonize and area.

Plant succession is the evolution of plant communities at a barren place over time beginning from pioneer species to climax vegetation. The plant community changes the soil and micro-climate at each stage of the succession. This helps to establish another group of species.  This means as the succession develops one community of plants is replaced by another and eventually a climax community is reached where the vegetation is in a state of equilibrium with the environment and there is no further addition of new species

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
