"They" is a personal pronoun because it is used to refer to a person or people in a general sense or when the gender of the person is unknown or irrelevant. It can be used to replace the pronouns "he" or "she" when the gender is unspecified or when referring to a group of people. Therefore, "they" is a personal pronoun in English.

Understanding Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are essential components of English grammar, used to refer back to the subject of the sentence. They are formed by adding "self" or "selves" to certain pronouns.
List of Reflexive Pronouns:
- myself (first person singular)
- yourself (second person singular)
- himself (third person singular, male)
- herself (third person singular, female)
- itself (third person singular, non-human)
- ourselves (first person plural)
- yourselves (second person plural)
- themselves (third person plural)
Explanation of Options:
- a) yourself: This is a second-person singular reflexive pronoun. It refers back to the subject "you."
- b) themselves: This is a third-person plural reflexive pronoun. It refers back to the subject "they."
- c) herself: This is a third-person singular reflexive pronoun referring to a female subject. It goes back to the subject "she."
Correct Answer: All of the Above
Since all the options (yourself, themselves, and herself) are reflexive pronouns, the correct answer is indeed option D: all of the above. Each pronoun in the options plays a role in reflecting the action back to the subject of the sentence, which is the defining characteristic of reflexive pronouns.
In conclusion, understanding reflexive pronouns enhances clarity in communication and helps to avoid ambiguity in sentences.
