Correct answer: B. ourselves
- A. who
- B. ourselves
- C. firm
- D. in
Explanation
Replace "ourselves" with "themselves":The sentence is incorrect because it uses "ourselves" in a way that creates a mismatch with the subject "those." The pronoun "ourselves" should be replaced with the third-person plural pronoun "themselves" to maintain agreement with the plural antecedent "those.".
