D. indirect object
It's like saying he gave the book to me
if you can add the word to (and it makes sense), it's an indirect object

D indirect object. An indirect object is the answer when you ask to whom about the sentence. In this example to whom did he give? Since the answer is me, me is the indirect pronoun.
