• B. Incorrect= himself, Correct= his self
• C. Incorrect = himself, Correct = themselves
• D. Incorrect= himself, Correct= theirself

Answer 1

The correct option is C Incorrect = himself, Correct = themselves

Here, the sentence mentions 'two boys' so the singular pronoun 'himself' is incorrect. We need to use a plural pronoun here. 'Theirself' and 'theriselves' are incorrect words. So, the most appropriate answer is option C) incorrect=himself, correct= themselves.
