Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A and C are grammatically incorrect. Assuming that Haley and Paul are underlined, the viewer refers to Haley and Paul in 3rd person. Therefore, them is the correct answer, as even though B could work, the viewer isn't Haley or Paul. We have to keep the meaning of the sentence the same.
