It looks like you hit a tricky one! The reason "Yourself" is the correct choice here comes down to how reflexive pronouns work when the subject and the object of the sentence refer to the same person.
Why "Yourself" is the Winner
In this sentence, the person being spoken to (the subject "you," which is implied in the question "did you see...") and the person in the snapshot are the same person (Asmau).

* The Rule: When the subject and the object of a verb or preposition are the same, we use a reflexive pronoun (words ending in -self or -selves).

* The Application: "Did you (Asmau) see the snapshot of yourself (Asmau)?"
Why the others don't fit

* You (Option B): While it sounds okay in casual speech, grammatically, "you" is an object pronoun. Using "you" as the object of "you" as the subject is generally considered incorrect in formal English.
* Incorrect: I saw me in the mirror.
* Correct: I saw myself in the mirror.

* Yours (Option C): This is a possessive pronoun. You would use this if you were talking about something Asmau owns (e.g., "Is this snapshot yours?").

* Yourselves (Option D): This is plural. Since the speaker is only addressing one person, Asmau, we must use the singular "yourself."

* Herself (Option E): This would only work if the speaker was talking about Asmau to someone else, rather than talking to her.

The correct option is B. you.

"You" is the correct object pronoun here because it refers directly to the person being addressed (Asmau).

"Yourself" would only be correct if the sentence clearly shows that Asmau took the snapshot of herself, for example: "Asmau, did you take the snapshot of yourself?"

So, the best answer from the options given is B. you.
