B Correct answer
Explanation

Stubborn means refusing to change one's mind or behavior. Constant criticism can trigger defensive stubbornness in children. Firm and admonishing are positive traits developed through guidance, not criticism. Disturbing doesn't make sense as a result of being criticized.
