C. The dominant culture accepts the subculture as a part of its own culture but rejects the countercultures.

Explanation:

a counter-culture has its values and norms significantly different from the dominant culture and it mostly not compatible or accepted by the dominant culture while subculture involves a group of people within a culture who differentiates itself from the dominant culture but its norms and values are largely accepted by the dominant culture and vice versa.
