He will carry it himself in this sentence is intensive pronoun or reflexive pronoun?

In the sentence "He will carry it himself," the word "himself" is a reflexive pronoun.

Here's why:

* Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence. They are used when the subject of the verb is also the object of the verb.

* In this case, "He" is the subject, and "himself" is the object (He carries himself).

Intensive pronouns are used to emphasize the subject of a sentence. While "himself" can sometimes be used for emphasis, it's not the primary function in this sentence.
