Correct answer: B
Obstinate: from Latin "obstinatus," meaning resolute or firmly set in a position.
Meaning: Refusing to change one's opinion or course of action; stubborn.
Why "Stubborn" is correct: Both words describe an unwillingness to change or to be persuaded.
Why the other choices are incorrect: "Flexible" and "Yielding" suggest willingness to change; "Agreeable" means pleasant or ready to agree, not persistently resistant.
Example: She remained obstinate about her decision despite everyone’s objections.
