B Correct answer
Explanation

In this sentence, "him and I" are the indirect objects of the verb "bought," meaning they must be in the objective case. While "him" is already an object pronoun, "I" is a subject pronoun and must be changed to the object pronoun "me." Changing "him" to "he" would incorrectly introduce a subject pronoun into an object position.
