His father did not like…… going to the late night parties.

him

his

Correct option 4: his

This is a case of a gerund (verb + ing) being used as a noun — “going” is the gerund here.

When a gerund is preceded by a pronoun, it should be in the possessive form (his, her, their, etc.) to show who is doing the action.

So:

Incorrect - "him going" – incorrect in formal grammar.

Correct - "his going" – correct.
