The boy is reading a book when the old man approaches him based on "The Alchemist" story by Paulo Coelho. The old man approaches Santiago and questions him about the book that Santiago is reading.

The correct answer is A) us; indirect object.
The pronoun has to be us because we are looking for an object, and we is a pronoun used for a subject.
Also, it is indirect object because when there are two objects in a sentence, the rule is that the first object is indirect, and it is followed by a direct object. The direct object in this sentence is the old newspapers, which means that the indirect object is John and us.
