Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

The word 'Obdurate' describes a person who is stubborn, unyielding, or resistant to persuasion. To find its opposite, we must identify a term that signifies flexibility and openness. Option B 'Soft' is the correct answer because it directly contrasts with the hardness of character implied by obdurate. A soft person is easily influenced or gentle, which is the antithesis of being obstinate.\nOption A 'Rigid' and Option C 'Stubborn' are incorrect because they are synonyms of obdurate, describing someone who refuses to change. Option D 'Hard' is also incorrect as it aligns with the unyielding nature of obdurate rather than opposing it. Therefore, 'Soft' is the only choice that represents the opposite meaning.
