Answer 1

Answer:

C. my English teacher, encourages us to write stories ourselves

Explanation:

In English, an intensive pronoun reflects the object of the sentence. So, in the third option, the object is "us" therefore, "ourselves" is the intensive pronoun. Ourselves is intensive because it shows that only "us" write our stories, no one else, it is a self-intensifier.
