If Wherever Indians go they easily adapt to local circumstances. Then it would be right, but here first noun is not described (tense is started with they) so themselves is used with Indians.

Themselves is required because if it is not used the sentence seems like adopting to somone else. The sentece explaining that we adopt ourselves wherever we go.

Transitive verbs like adapt, avail etc. We use pronouns himself, herself, themselves compulsory.

A transitive verb is one that only makes sense if it exerts its action on an object.

Transitive verbs can't be followed by a preposition. So 'adapt to' is wrong.

Is 'themselves' really required?
The sentence seems just fine without it!

It should be Wherever Indians go they easily adapt to local circumstances.

What about using "get adapted to" instead of "adapt themselves to"?

I also think same @Mayank. Can anyone explain where are we wrong?

I think noun should before pronoun. So both A and B is incorrect.
