Correct answer: C
Answer: them
Explanation: The verb "count" requires an object to receive the action. The sentence refers to the "strange trees," which is plural, so the correct object pronoun is the plural form "them."
Identify what is being counted: the strange trees (plural).
Choose the correct pronoun form: after a verb like "count" we need an object pronoun. For plural nouns, use "them."
Why the other words are incorrect:
"us" would refer to the speakers (first-person plural), not the trees.
"him" is singular, but the trees are plural.
"they" is a subject pronoun, whereas the sentence needs an object pronoun after "count."
Therefore, the correct choice is the plural object pronoun "them."
