Which statement best describes headstrong?

• A. Strong-willed
• B. Very determined to do what one wishes, despite warnings from others
• C. Unstable and indecisive
• D. Stubborn and unwilling to change

Answer: (D)

Headstrong describes a person who is determined to have things their own way and resists changing course, often ignoring advice. The best choice captures this by describing someone as stubborn and unwilling to change, which directly reflects the core idea: a mindset that sticks to one's plans despite input from others. While being strong-willed or very determined contains elements of this trait, headstrong carries the sense of obstinacy and a tendency to disregard guidance, making the stubbornness and resistance to change the most accurate fit. The option describing instability and indecision doesn’t match, since headstrong implies decisiveness and persistence rather than hesitation.
