The Jewish community's response to the apostles' refusal to obey the Sanhedrin primarily involved continued persecution of the Christians. This is reflected in the New Testament accounts, where the apostles faced threats, imprisonment, and various forms of hostility from the Jewish authorities and members of the community due to their evangelistic activities and teachings about Jesus. The other options, such as closing synagogues or asking the Senate to prohibit evangelism, are not specifically documented actions taken by the Jewish community in those circumstances.
