Select the sentence in which the emphatic pronoun has been used correctly.
Mrs. Anita Sharma herself inspected the examination hall.
An emphatic (or emphasizing) reflexive pronoun agrees in gender and number with the noun it emphasises, and it is usually placed immediately after the subject or at the end of the sentence, not in the middle of the verb phrase.
Since the subject 'Mrs. Anita Sharma' is singular and feminine, the correct emphatic pronoun is 'herself,' and it should follow the subject directly: 'Mrs. Anita Sharma herself inspected the examination hall.'
'Himself' has the wrong gender, 'themselves' has the wrong number, and placing 'herself' before the object rather than after the subject disrupts the natural emphatic construction.
Therefore, the correctly used sentence is 'Mrs. Anita Sharma herself inspected the examination hall.'
