9
10 11

The correct answer is B) themselves (reflexive), herself (intensive)

Explanation:

Words that replace nouns including people, objects, etc. are known as pronouns. In the sentence presented, there are three pronouns "they", "themselves", and "herself", in the case of the first two pronouns they refer to a group of musicians, while the last pronoun refers to a female.

Moreover, the first pronoun "they" is a subject pronoun because it shows who is "called" or the main action. The pronoun "themselves" is considered reflexive because this emphasizes "they" and it is essential to the sentence. Finally, the pronoun "herself" is intensive; this means it emphasizes a previous noun but it can be omitted, which makes intensive pronouns differ from extensive pronouns.
