The correct answer is reflexive.
Reflexive pronouns are used when the object of the sentence is the same person as the subject. Here, the subject is Johnny and given that he bought something for himself, he is also the object. Although the pronoun himself can sometimes be intensive, this is not the case where it is. Intensive pronoun would be if the sentence said: Johnny himself bought a new basketball.
Answer:
based on the info that you have provided:
evidence - proof, confirmation, verification are all synonyms.
Explanation:
observations which answer questions - this would have to have been proved with empirical evidence - data evidence that has been proven more than one time. I would not choose this answer.
proof that an idea is true - i would choose this answer due to the wording of "proof"
information for or against an idea - this could be someone's opinion and not have valid data to prove. notice that "proof" is not in this answer. I would not choose this answer.
data - this would be empirical info and I would choose this as an answer.
I hope this helps.
