The correct statement regarding intensive pronouns is:
The intensive pronoun can be removed from the sentence, and the sentence still makes sense.
Intensive pronouns (like myself, yourself, themselves, etc.) serve to emphasize a noun or pronoun in the sentence and can be omitted without changing the overall meaning of the sentence. In contrast, reflexive pronouns indicate that the subject and the object of the sentence are the same and are necessary for the sentence to make sense.
