Correct Answer: Possessive-Reflexive Pronouns


Solution : The correct answer is option 4.

Herself is a reflexive pronoun and her is a possessive pronoun.

Example:

Possessive pronouns indicate possession or ownership of a noun. Uses like "my," "our," "her," etc.
When the subject and the object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing, reflexive pronouns are used. These pronouns have a self- or selves- ending. Myself, her, him, etc. are examples.
Personal pronouns are words that are used in place of someone's name. For instance, He, She, etc.
When the object doesn't need to be specifically identified, indefinite pronouns are used. Everyone, someone, etc. are examples.
