The strength of gravity between Earth and an object is strongest when the object is at sea level. This is because gravity decreases with height; as you move higher above sea level, the distance between the object and the center of the Earth increases, resulting in a weaker gravitational pull. Therefore, the correct response is:
when an object is at sea level.
