Answer:
<em>(C) offering a specific example to support a general claim
</em>
Explanation:
If there is only one claim: "Things which today seem unremarkable could have altered the course of history once...."
<em>Even the answer choice's clarification mentions "the claim": </em>
The second paragraph provides detailed details–perhaps even the position nutmeg played in New York history–to support the argument that apparently inconspicuous things can change the course of events.
So, shouldn't alternative "author say" consider instead of "author claims"?!

Even though you didn't underline anything, there is only one pronoun in this sentence - the word them.
The case of this pronoun is objective - it functions as an object in the sentence. It is really easy to determine this - all you have to do is ask the questions <em>whom </em>or <em>what. Whom did the designer dress in black and teal costumes? </em>And the answer is - <em>Them. </em>
This way you know that the pronoun is also the object; to be more specific, it is a direct object.
Therefore, the correct answers are case: objective; function: direct object.
