C)They imply Ben’s desire to avoid uncomfortable confrontations.

Explanation:

In these lines, we learn that Ben wants to avoid uncomfortable situations. When Horace talks to Oscar, he does so in a mocking way that is meant to annoy him. However, before Oscar can reply, Ben participates, and he tries to defuse the situation. It seems like he wants to avoid a confrontation between Oscar and Horace. Therefore, we can conclude that Ben likes to avoid uncomfortable situations.

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
