B Correct answer
Explanation

The sentence requires the object pronoun 'him' because it follows 'to be' and refers back to 'the general' (object of the verb 'thought'). The structure is 'I thought [object] to be [object complement]'. We need the object case 'him', not the subject case 'he'. Option B is correct.
