a. Consider the character's actions at the beginning of the story.

c. Analyze how the character reacts to plot events throughout the story.

d. Study the character’s behaviors at the end of the story.

Explanation:

For a., it is important to note how the character has begun, which for c., it is also important to see how they transition and change as a character (character development). Then, for d., it would be important to see how they are at the very end, as those three choices should be the right choices, showing exactly how one would analyze the development of a character in the story. As for b., I don't see the point in comparing a character to completely different character since all characters are unique. And e. doesn't seem too important to do.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
