Answer: The pronoun 'us' is an indirect object (D).

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Indirect object is a person/object that is affected by the action of the transitive verb and is not a primary object. It typically answers the question of 'for what', 'to whom', 'for whom'.
  • Direct object, on the other hand, answers the question of 'what' or 'whom.' It is the primary object of a sentence and receives the action.

In this case, the pronoun 'us' (first person, plural, personal pronoun) is the indirect object of the verb 'to bring'. The direct object is 'the box'.
