Key word here: orthodoxy, which is strict conformity.

Intellectual orthodoxy is strict conformity of thought.

A counter-influence works against that, an opposite.

But the sentence has, in essence, a double negative.

“Far from” negates the “counter-influence,” so the strict adherence to a way of thinking stands. Thus, the movement against restricted thinking has itself become rigid in its opposition.

The answer is a) conformity.

The sentence describes the mentality behind the phrase “If you’re not one of us, then you’re one of them!”
