Answer 2

b. Countercultures reject and defy the dominant culture and subcultures do not.

Step-by-step explanation:

A subculture is a group within a culture that differentiates itself from the mainstream culture in which it exists. However, even though it creates its own normas and values, it retains some of the characteristics of the parent culture. Therefore, it does not defy or reject the dominant culture. On the other hand, a counterculture is a subculture that opposes mainstream cultural norms.
