a. vivid

A. Vivid

Explanation:

A vivid language is a language that is supposed to stimulate the receiver (the audience or the reader). It is a language that invokes other senses to make something more real and unforgettable. By expressing the smell and color of something when giving a description, you're creating a more vivid image because the audience will use more senses to create the image in their heads.

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.
