Solution

The correct option is C you/him
If the pronoun is receiving the action, it is called a direct object. Object pronouns are always used when the antecedent is a direct object. Here, the object of "want" is "you" and that of "ring" is a third person. The object pronoun for second person singular is "you" and third person singular male is "him". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
