Solution

The correct option is C them
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 children are to be left alone. The object pronoun for third person plural is "them". Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
