Choice A, "counterpublic," refers to a space that challenges or opposes dominant views and values within a society, and choice C, "national audience," refers specifically to the scale of the audience rather than the space itself. Choice D, "network society," refers to a broader societal trend characterized by the pervasiveness of communication networks, which may facilitate discourse but is not equivalent to a physical or social space for public discussion.
