Explanation:

"Obstinate" means stubborn and unwilling to change one's opinion or course of action. "Rigid" also implies inflexibility and a lack of willingness to bend or change, which is similar in meaning. "Flexible" is the opposite. "Uneasy" means anxious or uncomfortable, and "correct" means accurate or right, neither of which are related in meaning to "obstinate".
