    Default reflexive pronoun

    1. Dad: Who is your brother talking to?
    Lucy: _________.
    (A) Herself (B) Myself (C) Himself (D) Yourself
    The answer is option C. Is option D also correct?

    No, it's not. Only option C works.

    Default Re: reflexive pronoun

    Not in standard British English. In some variants it would be acceptable (in Ireland, for example); and it means something different from C - 'It's you he's talking to.'
