Solution
The correct option is B him/it
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 policeman is being seen and the street is being stopped upon. The object pronoun for third person singular masculine is "him" and for third person neuter singular is "it". Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
