Answer:

(A) You will have to finish the assignment yourselves.

Explanation:

In B, C, and D, the "yourself" and "myself" words aren't adding any emphasis to the situation! But in sentence (A), the speaker is saying that, you will have to finish the assignment YOURSELF. No help from anyone else! (This implies that the task might be difficult, putting emphasis!)
