A)Pathogen transmission within intensive farming✓
B)Topsoil salinization diminishing long-term capacity
C)Nutrient depletion necessitating longer fallow cycles
D)Herbicide resistance impeding effective weed control

Pathogen transmission increased because **anthropogenic propagation** mechanisms were heightened within densely populated chinampa systems utilizing human waste, therefore disease spread accelerated easily rather than alternative risks like salinity which took longer, or effects relevant to modern agriculture.
