The pronoun yourself in this quotation is reflecting an action the author of the same receives as the result. That means: Someone (you) did something to someone (yourself), and when the author and the object of that action is the same person, a reflective pronoun is used. Other examples are: She cut herself. They are helping themselves.

Answer is C.
