If the author had written 'O próprio Bento não lhe deixava mentir...', what would be the correct statement?


a) He would be correct, because 'a' and 'lhe' are pronouns that always have the same syntactic function.
b) He would be wrong, because 'a' is a 3rd person pronoun and 'lhe' is a 2nd person pronoun.
c) He would be wrong, because 'a' cannot have the same syntactic function as 'lhe', at least as an objective pronoun, as is the case in the example in question.
d) He would be correct, because 'a' can have the same syntactic function as 'lhe', especially as an objective pronoun, as is the case in the example under study.
e) He would be wrong, because 'a' and 'lhe', in this type of construction, only have the same syntactic function when the infinitive verb form is a direct object.
