    Give the recipe (1)/ to Jim and I, (2)/ and we'll cook you (3)/ a delicious breakfast. (4)

    Solutions
    The error is in the second part of the sentence.

    Pronoun has to agree with the case. Here, it is the objective case. So, 'me' should be used instead of 'I'. "Me" is an object pronoun, which means that it serves as a direct or indirect object to the verb or as the object of a preposition.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.
