Pronouns-

• A pronoun is used as a replacement for the nouns in sentences. They are usually added in places of nouns.
• Here, the noun for the sentence is a girl and there's a pronoun 'she' used instead of her in the beginning.
• Another pronoun has to be added to the bracket in relation to the noun. The gender of the noun is female.
• When there is talk about a female who does action and gets affected by it, we use the pronoun 'herself' there.
• For instance, in the given question the female is doing something for her own good and that work/action is affecting her in some way.
• Thus, we use the pronoun 'herself' in the blank.
• If it had been a male or boy, in this case, the pronoun 'himself' would have been the correct answer.
