Explanation:

• Quakers (Religious Society of Friends) rejected religious authorities like priests as they believed in direct communion with God.
• They advocated for complete equality among people, including gender and racial equality.
• They were pacifists, opposing armed conflict.
• They refused to swear oaths, adhering to the belief of speaking truth without oaths.
• They did believe in God (so "They did not believe in God" is false), the earth's roundness was not a belief they rejected (so "They did not believe the earth was round" is false), and they did not believe in reincarnation (so that option is false). Also, they rejected political authorities as part of their beliefs in equality and non - conformity to worldly hierarchies.

A. They rejected religious authorities (priests).
