Hello,

For starters you are going to want to know what each of the answer choices mean so in this case;

Subject is a person or thing that is discussed and or described.
object of a preposition is noun, noun phrase, or pronoun that follows a preposition and completes its meaning.
subject complement is a noun, pronoun, and or objective that completes the meaning or a "linking verb".
Direct object is a noun and or pronoun such as Whom or what. it receives the action.

So now that you what the meaning to all of them are we can proceed.

A) Subject

Because "Them" is referring to people.
