The correct answer is A. Indirect object

Step-by-step explanation:

In sentences, one of the elements that follow the object is the indirect object. This differs from the direct object because the indirect object refers to the person affected by the action and that receives the object. For example, in the sentence " Jonathan sent Kim flowers" the indirect object is Kim because she is the person receiving the object, in this case, the flowers. In this context, one way to find the indirect object is by answering the question "to whom" or "for whom". This makes answer A correct.
