설명
The word "intransigent" refers to someone who is unwilling to compromise, stubborn, or resistant to change. Therefore, the opposite meaning would be someone who is willing to compromise, open to negotiation, or flexible. In this context, "compromising" (Option C) is the most suitable opposite, as it conveys a willingness to find a middle ground and make concessions, which contrasts with the intransigent behaviour described in the sentence.
