The factor illustrated is the concentration of reactants.

Explanation:

Let's examine each option.

Chemical nature of reactants

The reactants are the food and the oxygen that causes the spoilage.

Adding nitrogen does not change the nature of the reactants, so this option is false.

Temperature

False. Adding nitrogen does not change the temperature of the reactants.

Presence of Catalysts

False. Nitrogen is not a catalyst, nor does it add or remove any catalysts from the reaction.

Concentration of reactants

True. Adding nitrogen flushes out most (but not all) of the air/oxygen from the packet.

The nitrogen decreases the concentration of one of the reactants: oxygen.

Physical state of reactants

False. The nitrogen does not change the physical state of the food or the oxygen.
