Final Answer : A, Explanation :  Subcultures share some elements with the dominant culture and exist within it, but they have their own distinctive values, beliefs, and practices. Countercultures, on the other hand, reject and defy the dominant culture, and seek to create alternative norms, values, and practices. While countercultures may also arise in response to the dominant culture, they typically seek to create a fundamentally different social order, rather than simply modify certain aspects of it.
