Explanation:

A town hall - style debate is characterized by audience participation, specifically the audience being able to ask questions to the participants. The first option is incorrect as participants don't typically determine topics and time limits in this format. The third option is wrong because topics are not usually kept secret from others except the moderator. The fourth option is not a key characteristic of a town hall debate as there's no such requirement for team sizes.

Answer:

B. The audience members get to ask questions for the participants to answer.
