Answer

B is the correct and best one.

Answer

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.

Answer

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."

Answer

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