The answer is:

Nixon worried about being reelected in 1972 largely because he narrowly won the popular vote in 1968.

As Nixon lost the 1960's U. S. presidential elections by a narrow difference, he narrowlly won the popular vote in 1968 over Hubert Humphrey. But Nixon feared, before he knew he was going to win, that it would be another close election. Regarding the other options, they can not be correct since:

-The Vietnam War was ended during Nixon's presidency in 1973, the year after the elections.

-Nixon's visit to China in 1972 ended 25 years of zero communication nor diplomatic relations between both countries and was fundamental in normalizing relations between them. Moreover, Nixon visited China so as to gain more leverage over relations with the Soviet Union.

-He had established the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), therefore, this was a leverage for him since he showed himself caring about the environment and its importance.
