The choice that sounds the best is him

The correct answer is him. The sentence contains a comparative of superiority (higher than), showing that Sue, Tom's coworker receives more than Tom. To make the comparative and in order not to repeat his name, Tom, a substitute word was used, in this case, the pronoun him. The company pays her a higher wage than it pays him.
