Solution

The correct option is B steadfast
The correct answer is Option B.
CAPRICIOUS means unfaithful and fickle.
The opposite of the word will thus be STEADFAST which means faithful and loyal.
The remaining options are incorrect because:
HELPFUL means the tendency to help someone.
UNDERSTANDING means compassion and comprehension.
OBSTINATE means stubborn.
