Solution
Intraspecific competition is strongest when the population is at its carrying capacity.
Explanation:
Intraspecific competition is strongest when the population is at its carrying capacity, because resources become scarce and individuals compete more intensely for them. At this point, the population size is the maximum that the environment can sustain, leading to greater competition among members of the same species for food, space, and other resources.
