Final answer:

Intraspecific competition increasing affects growth and development first, followed by individual survival and reproduction.

Step-by-step explanation:

True

Intraspecific competition refers to the competition between individuals of the same species for limited resources. As competition increases, it has a negative impact on growth and development, which are the first to be affected. This is because individuals with better adaptations are able to access the resources and outperform others.

Survival and reproduction follow, as individuals who are unable to obtain enough resources may have lower chances of survival and reproductive success.
