Se priver, nommément

Why does the last sentence use the impersonal construction, "Pourquoi se priver" instead of "nous priver"?

Also, I translated "namely" as "en l'occurrence" but that wasn't one of the accepted answers (only "nommément" and "à savoir"). Is there a difference?

Fait exprès How would you say "He didn't give the change back on purpose." ?Il a fait exprès de ne pas rendre la monnaie.Il n'a pas rendu la monnaie à propos.Il n'a pas rendu la monnaie d'intention.Il n'a pas l'intention de rendre la monnaie.
Hello,
I know the right answer is A. But is it supposed to be ´ Il a fait exprès de ne rendre pas la monnaie.’ ? Instead of ´ Il a fait exprès de NE PAS rendre la monnaie.´
Thanks.
