Don't reject answer B. Like "repudiate," "reject" means to turn away by not accepting or receiving. It often implies an unwillingness to even consider something (as in "rejected her plan immediately"). "Decline," another synonym, suggests a polite negative response (for example, "declined the invitation"), while "refuse" often refers to a forceful or absolute denial (as in "refused to see him at all"). "Repudiate" implies a casting off or disowning as unworthy of acceptance. It is frequently used in connection with social relationships (like marriage or friendship) and can be traced back to the Latin word meaning "divorce."
