Example sentence: The man who helped me with my groceries yesterday was very kind.
In this sentence, "who" is the relative pronoun that introduces the relative clause "who helped me with my groceries yesterday." The relative clause provides additional information about the man in the first clause.

Reflexive pronoun in the sentence:
- The reflexive pronoun in the sentence "We injured ourselves in a cricket match, we tried to win but could not" is "ourselves".
Explanation:
- Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence refer to the same person or thing. They end in "-self" (singular) or "-selves" (plural).
- In the given sentence, the subject is "we" and the object is "ourselves", which refers back to the subject "we".
- The pronoun "ourselves" is a reflexive pronoun because it reflects the action of injuring back onto the subject "we".
- The other pronouns in the sentence are not reflexive pronouns:
- "we" is a personal pronoun used as the subject of the sentence.
- "but" is a coordinating conjunction that joins two clauses.
- "to" is a preposition in this sentence.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option D: ourselves.
