C. hypothesis. He is giving a possible answer to the question "why did the celery crisp when placed in water?"
Answer:
soil and vegetative matter screening for soil structure integrity and invasive pathogens
Explanation:
Repeated use of fertilizer causes the soil to break down and lose it nutrient capacity. This in turn will affect the integrity of the plants, now in a nutrient deficit environment. In addition to this, soil micro-biome environment may also be compromised once soil structure and nutrient is lost. Some of the bacteria, fungi and protozoan in the soil plays a role in defense against invasive pathogens. When this is lost the possibility for infection and increased risk of unknown pest and disease is imminent.
They are viruses that infect bacteria and require a bacterial host in order to replicate themselves
