    Question

    Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word:

    Obstinate
    A Stubborn Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Yielding Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Argumentative Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rigid Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    “Obstinate” means stubbornly refusing to change one’s opinion or chosen course of action, even when others try to persuade them.

    Its opposite is someone who is willing to give in or compromise — that is, someone who is yielding.

    Option 1 (Stubborn) and Option 4 (Rigid) are synonyms, not antonyms.

    Option 3 (Argumentative) is not the opposite; it’s just a related trait.

    Therefore, the most appropriate antonym is "Yielding."
