The correct answer is Option (2) → stubborn
-
Stubborn (Adjective): Having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good reasons to do so. This meaning perfectly fits the context of "refusing to change his stance despite pressure."
-
Reticent (Adjective): Not revealing one's thoughts or feelings readily; reserved. (Incorrect, relates to being quiet, not to inflexibility.)
-
Hesitant (Adjective): Tentative, unsure, or slow in acting or speaking. (Antonym of the intended meaning; a hesitant person would likely yield to pressure.)
-
Indecisive (Adjective): Not having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly. (Antonym of the intended meaning; an indecisive person would also likely yield to pressure.)
