Explanation:

In "Civil Disobedience", Thoreau advocates for civil disobedience against unjust laws. He believes people should refuse to obey unjust laws as a form of protest, rather than passively obeying or leaving society. The option "refuse to obey them, using refusal as a form of protest" aligns with his views. The other options: obeying (even with trying to change) goes against his call for direct action against injustice, being content to obey is opposite to his stance, and leaving society completely is not his main proposal (he focuses on protesting unjust laws within the context of engaging with society's issues).

Answer:

refuse to obey them, using refusal as a form of protest
