1."myself"(a)
The subject is 'I', so the reflexive pronoun is 'myself'. We use a reflexive pronoun when the subject and object are the same person.
2."yourself"(c)
The subject is 'you' (singular), so the reflexive pronoun is 'yourself'.
3."himself"(a)
'Tom' is male and singular, so the reflexive pronoun is 'himself'.
4."themselves"(b)
'The children' is plural (they), so the reflexive pronoun is 'themselves'. 'Enjoy yourself/themselves' means to have a good time.
5."herself"(b)
'My grandmother' is female and singular, so the reflexive pronoun is 'herself'. 'Teach yourself' means to learn without a teacher.
