The correct answer should be as the object of a preposition

That is because of the preposition For. It is in any case an object.

In the sentence Steve’s next-door neighbor accepted a delivery for him, the objective pronoun him is used as an indirect object.

An objective pronoun is a type of personal pronoun that is usually used as a grammatical object, either as a direct or indirect one, or as the object of a preposition. In this sentence in particular, him is functioning as the indirect object because it is indicating to whom or for whom the action was done.
