The Radical Reformation, also known as the Anabaptist movement, inspired some believers to adopt a quietist attitude towards the world, believing that they should wait for a better world to come. This attitude was not exclusively held by the Anabaptists, but it was one of the hallmarks of their movement. The other choices are incorrect: Luther vehemently opposed the Anabaptists, Calvin had a mixed relationship with them but ultimately rejected their beliefs, the Anabaptists did not appeal to the nobility or the wealthiest merchants (they were often persecuted and marginalized), and they did not use the Scriptures to argue against social revolution (rather, they often challenged existing social structures and practices).
