The correct option is Homi K. Bhabha.

Explanation:
The concept of the "third space" (often referred to as the "Third Space of Enunciation") is a key theoretical framework developed by the postcolonial theorist Homi K. Bhabha, most notably in his seminal 1994 work, The Location of Culture.
Bhabha uses the term to describe an ambivalent, liminal space where cultural identity is constructed, negotiated, and translated. By stating that the productive capacities of this third space have a "colonial or postcolonial provenance," Bhabha highlights how the hybrid identities and cultural negotiations emerging within this space are historically rooted in and shaped by the dynamics of colonial encounters and their subsequent postcolonial aftermaths.
