Question

"My wife" is singular, so the pronoun must be singular. We can eliminate the plural pronoun "them".
she
her
them
hers
It is also the direct object (it tells us "who" or "what" after the verb) in the sentence, so the pronoun must be in the objective case. We can eliminate "she" (subjective case) and "hers" (possessive case).
"Her" is singular and in the objective case, so it is the correct answer.
