On that specific question, you use the arrow keys to navigate between
options and <Enter> to choose the option you want. But, there are some
questions where you mark which options you want with <Space> and
continue to the next question with <Enter>, you can identify those by
the brackets before given the options which look like:
[*] Selected option
[ ] Unselected option
For those questions <Space> does work on my machine with your command.
It might be a small misunderstanding, so lowering severity. But I'd
expect <Space> to answer the first kind of question as well.
