Before we can get to the answer, we must first translate the sentence. From German to English the sentences states the following:

"We play this video game on the internet."

The direct object in this sentence would be game. The word "game" is not a wir (we) or sie (her). To further prove that, let's try substituting the words game, this, and video with all three pronouns. We need to replace all three words with one pronoun because the sentence wouldn't make sense otherwise.

"We play we on the internet."

"We play her on the internet."

"We play it on the internet."

The one that makes the most sense is C. es (or "it" in English)
