Answer:

C. The rate at which soil bacteria perform nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Since Xavier is raising vegetables in the same spot year after year it is reasonable to expect that the plants would deplete the soil of its resources. Since the soil doesn't have enough minerals and not enough time for the bacteria to perform nitrogen fixation the plants don't grow at the same rate and numbers that they used to at the beginning.
