The correct answer as to which pronoun best completes the sentence and how the pronoun is used is D. me; indirect object.
In a sentence where there are two objects, where one is direct, and the other one indirect, the rule is that the first object that will be written in the sentence is the indirect, and it will be followed by a direct object. Since the direct object here is <em>some good pointers, </em>it means that the indirect one is <em>me.
</em><em /><em />Also, you cannot choose the pronoun <em>I </em>as the correct answer, as that is the pronoun used as a subject, not an object.
