Select the sentence containing a correctly used reciprocal pronoun.
The two brothers blamed each other for the incident.
Reciprocal pronouns, namely "each other" and "one another," express a mutual action or relationship between two or more subjects.
"Each other" is conventionally used for two people, while "one another" is used for more than two, though usage often overlaps.
"The two brothers blamed each other for the incident" correctly uses "each other" to show that each of the two brothers blamed the other, which is a genuine reciprocal action.
The other options misuse reflexive pronouns like "himself" and "themselves" in contexts requiring a reciprocal or plain object, making them grammatically incorrect.
Therefore, the correct answer is "The two brothers blamed each other for the incident."
