Explanation
The sentence says parents are choosing micro-schools and homeschooling cooperatives instead of the standardized curricula used by public schools.
So they are rejecting or turning away from those curricula.
spurn = reject/disdain
repudiate = reject/refuse to accept
The other choices mean supporting or praising something, which contradicts the context.
Answer: A,D
