The text doesn't provide enough information to determine Bishop Donatus's reaction when Emperor Constantine recommended forgiveness for the church officials.
just pick the closet answer
Without any text or context about the actual reaction of Bishop Donatus, it's very difficult to pick a correct response. Traditionally, Bishop Donatus did not agree with Emperor Constantine's tendency towards leniency, so potentially, "Donatus and his followers did not agree with Constantine’s assessment and moved to the northern part of Africa" would be the closest choice, however this response would be speculative without the original or supporting text to confirm it.
