Melon is a direct object because it comes after the verb and someone or something is not receiving it. Subject+verb+who or what=direct object

I believe it is direct. Since, "a melon" and "peaches" are defined in the WHAT section.

In the sentence, "Buy a melon and some peaches at the store," the underlined word "melon" is a direct object because it directly receives the action of the verb "buy." The correct answer is option A. direct object.
