The answers are C and D.
Both "quixotic" and "idealistic" describe beliefs that are lofty, principled, and often out of touch with practical realities. These terms signify that the activist group's initial beliefs were driven by high ideals but might have been seen as impractical or unrealistic by others. As these beliefs became widely accepted and integrated into mainstream politics, the activist group disbanded because their formerly quixotic or idealistic beliefs were no longer seen as unconventional, eliminating the need for their continued activism.
Therefore, the selection of "quixotic" and "idealistic" creates two equivalent sentences that capture the transformation of the activist group's beliefs from once-impractical or visionary to being widely accepted within mainstream politics, leading to the group's dissolution due to the fulfillment of their original goals.
