Sabrina Kirby · Answer 1

d. give individuals the opportunity to respond to personal attacks.

Explanation:

The right of rebuttal refers to people's right to respond to any criticisms or inaccurate or aggravating comment made about them on a radio or television broadcast. It requires, then, broadcast media companies to give individuals the opportunity to respond to personal attacks in the same conditions that the harmful comment was made. Its purpose is to give both parties the same opportunity to express themselves and to prevent inequality.
