The answer is A and B.

These words signify a change in perception regarding the party's willingness to engage in negotiations, which aligns with the context of the sentence. The party, which was unwilling to negotiate earlier, is more amenable now.

The phrase "a hitherto _____ party is ready to bargain" with the word "hitherto" suggests a contrast to a party that is ready to bargain and thus references a party that was implacable and unyielding.
