B
Flowering plants appear last because they are unable to compete for pollinators.
C
Tall trees appear before flowering plants because their large roots absorb more water
D
Lichens appear after trees since they compete with other plants for shady areas.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Abiotic factors such as soil quality, water, and climate will determine the species that continue the process of succession.

Detailed explanation-2: -The five stages of plant succession are primary succession, secondary succession, young forest, old forest, and climax community.
