D Correct answer
Explanation

Both blanks require objective case pronouns because they follow the preposition "to" ("to his father and __" and "to his mother and __"). "him" is the correct objective case form of the third-person singular masculine pronoun. "His" is possessive case and cannot function as the object of a preposition.
