In this question, we are provided with a sentence that contains an underlined word, "obstinate." We need to select the option that is opposite in meaning to "obstinate."

Let`s dissect each option:

1. "Stubborn" implies being unyielding or unwilling to change one`s mind. It is similar in meaning to "obstinate," so it is not the opposite.

2. "Dogged" refers to being persistent or determined, which is also similar to "obstinate." Therefore, it is not the opposite.

3. "Amenable" means being responsive to suggestions or willing to cooperate. This is the opposite of "obstinate" as it signifies a willingness to change or be flexible.

4. "Rigid" refers to being inflexible or unyielding, which is similar to "obstinate" and not opposite in meaning.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3, "amenable," as it is the only option that is opposite in meaning to "obstinate."
