a. participating physicians who are members of an independent multispecialty group practice.

c. individual physicians in the community.

Explanation:

A network - model HMO contracts with two or more physician multispecialty group practices to provide healthcare services to subscribers. Option a is incorrect as it refers to an independent practice association (IPA) model in some cases (not the network model). Option b is for a staff - model HMO. Option c is more in line with a direct - contract or individual - practice association model rather than a network - model HMO.

d. two or more physician multispecialty group practices.
