ANSWER:
The correct word that is to be chosen is ‘them’. So the complete sentence becomes ‘The boys are making a lot of noise. Please ask them to be quiet.’
EXPLANATION:
In this case, the word ‘them’ is chosen in order to mention or point out the boys whom the speaker is referring to. As the group of boys contains many boys in number, ‘them’ is used to complete the sentence.
The pronoun ‘him’ is rejected because it represents only a single boy while the speaker is referring to a group of boys.
