Solution
The correct option is A them/them/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 women are referred to by the speaker. The children are being watched upon. The toys are played with. The object pronoun for third person plural is "them", irrespective of gender. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
