    The word "dues" functions as the direct object of the verb "collects", The answer is letter C.

    Explanation:

    A direct object is by definition a noun or noun phrase that receives the action of a verb. It usually answers questions such as who or what. In the structure "As treasurer of the club, Thomas collects dues from all the members", if we ask "What does Thomas collect?", the answer will be the object of the verb - "dues". Thus, "dues" are collected, they receive the action of being collected.

    Note that a direct object does not need to be connected to the verb by a preposition. When the preposition is employed, we have an indirect object.
