Most Americans don't object ____them by their first names.
A.) that I call
B.) to my calling
C.) that I am call
D.) for calling
I thought A.) was also possible.
For example, I found in my dictionary:
"the boy's father objected that the police had arrested him unlawfully."
Do you also think that A.) is wrong?
Thank you~

B is the correct and best one.

B sounds correct because object as a verb is followed by "to". For example: Gardaí objected to free legal aid being assigned to Gary O'Flynn and cross-examined him yesterday on property ownership.

B would sound the best of the four, but the way I'd write that sentence is, "Most Americans don't object to being called by their first names."

if you choose B, how do you explain "My" ?
