Maarten K.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Because it is not a possessive (pronoun or adjective), it is a reflexive pronoun of the pronominal verb 'se sentir'. The subject and object of the verb are the same.

The pronominal/reflexive pronouns are me/te/se/nous/vous/se:

Conjugate reflexive verb s'habiller in Le Présent (present tense)
