Consider the stable equilibrium you identified in the previous question. according to the lotka-volterra model, how do the relative strengths of intraspecific and interspecific competition impact equilibrium stability?

Intraspecific competition decreases when the pathogen affecting the population is introduced and may result in interspecific competition. This decreases the carrying capacity of Intraspecific population and describes about relative strength of competition between intra and interspecific groups. The stabilization equilibrium can be established by high intraspecific competition relative to interspecific competition. Therefore, a stable equilibrium results when intraspecific competition is stronger than interspecific competition

The answer should be b.

Ithink its 3! hope it : -)
