Explanation:

The subject is the topic of a sentence, that is, what that sentence is about. To find the subject, we can ask questions to the verb. Let's do that for each sentence given in the question:

1. Everyone named him the best. singer. --> Who performed the action? Who named him the best singer? Everyone. --> Everyone is the subject.

2. Both of the girls forgot their bags. --> Who performed the action? Who forgot their bags? Both (of the girls). --> Both is the subject.

3. Not all were late tonight; some were actually early. --> Who performed the action? Who were late tonight? (Not) all. --> All is the subject.

If any doubt remains, take a look at the following definitions. They will help you see that none of the other options is correct.

- A subject complement is a word or phrase which describes the subject. It comes after a linking verb (to be, to become, to feel, to look, etc.).

- The direct object is the receiver of the verb's action. For instance: She cooked the meal ("meal" is the object of "cooked").

- The object of a preposition is a noun or pronoun that follows a preposition in a sentence.
