• with organized, fierce resistance

Explanation:

The article's title suggests New England handled the pandemic well, likely due to public compliance. "With general acquiescence and compliance" fits as it implies people followed the measures, unlike options like outrage, resistance, or seeing it as a freedom threat. "Without any attempts..." is too absolute, while "acquiescence and compliance" aligns with good pandemic handling.

Answer:

C. with general acquiescence and compliance
