D Correct answer
Explanation

The subject pronoun 'He' is required because the pronoun is the subject of the verb 'bought'. 'He bought apples and a box...' refers back to Mr. Bhandari, the male subject mentioned earlier. 'His' is possessive, 'Him' is object pronoun, and 'Himself' is reflexive - none can serve as the sentence subject.
