Question

A.
them
B.
ourselves
C.
each other
D.
one another

Answer 1

The correct pronoun to fill in the blank is C. each other.

The sentence would read: "Even though the softball team lost, the players made sure to congratulate each other on a job well done."

This is appropriate as "each other" is used when referring to the mutual actions of members of a group, which in this case are the players on the team.
