Questions: What was the response of some religious groups to the inclusion of controversial scientific concepts in school curricula?

The answer is A. They resisted and argued against their inclusion.

Many religious groups have historically resisted the inclusion of controversial scientific concepts, such as evolution, in school curricula. This resistance is often based on the belief that these concepts contradict their religious teachings. For example, the Scopes "Monkey" Trial in 1925 highlighted the conflict between the teaching of evolution and certain Christian beliefs.

While there have been efforts by some religious groups to reconcile science and religion, this is not the predominant response when it comes to controversial scientific concepts in school curricula. These efforts are more common in interfaith dialogues and academic discussions rather than in the context of school curricula.

This option is less common among religious groups that oppose controversial scientific concepts. While some religious individuals and groups do support scientific education, those who find certain scientific concepts controversial are more likely to resist their inclusion rather than advocate for more scientific education.
