Explanation
'Myself' is a reflexive pronoun — it refers back to the subject 'I' and serves as the object of 'hurt'. Reflexive pronouns are a subclass of pronouns, so (B) is the accurate label. 'Demonstrative preposition' is not a real grammatical category, and the word is neither a noun nor an adjective. Hence (B) Pronoun is correct.
